摩訶止觀 3.186

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.3.186)

復次，心攝諸教，略有兩意：一者一切眾生心中具足一切法門；如來明審，照其心法，按彼心說，無量教法從心而出。二者如來往昔曾作漸頓觀心，偏圓具足；依此心觀為眾生說，教化弟子令學如來破塵出卷，仰寫空經。故有一切經教，悉為三止三觀所攝也。

> Furthermore, the mind's subsumption of the teachings has, briefly, two meanings: First, all sentient beings have all Dharma gates complete within their minds; the Tathāgata clearly and thoroughly discerns and illuminates their mental phenomena, expounding according to their minds, so that immeasurable teachings emerge from the mind. Second, the Tathāgata in the past practiced gradual and sudden mind-contemplation, complete in both the biased and the perfect; relying on this mind-contemplation he expounded for sentient beings, teaching and transforming his disciples to emulate the Tathāgata in breaking open the dust-mote to produce the scroll and looking up to inscribe the sutra upon empty space. Therefore, all sutra teachings are subsumed under the three calmings and three contemplations.
