摩訶止觀 6.163

6.163

○第三、明中道止觀破法遍者：前生不生止觀破法遍，一往似自行；次不生生止觀破法遍，一往似化他；今不生不生止觀破法遍，一往似雙非自他，又雙照自他。生不生即不生生，亦即不生不生；自即不自，亦非自非不自。不生生即生不生，亦是不生不生；他即非他，亦非他非不他。不生不生即生不生，亦是不生生；亦是不雙非，亦是不雙照。種種分別，令易解故，作如前說耳。就此為四：一、修中觀意，二、修中觀緣，三、正修中觀，四、明位利益。

3. Clarifying the pervasive destruction of phenomena through the calming and contemplation of the Middle Way: The previous calming and contemplation of arising and non-arising pervasively destroying phenomena initially seemed like one's own practice; next, the calming and contemplation of non-arising and arising pervasively destroying phenomena initially seemed like converting others; now, the calming and contemplation of non-arising and non-arising pervasively destroying phenomena initially seems like double negation of self and other, and also double illumination of self and other. Arising and non-arising is itself non-arising and arising, and is also itself non-arising and non-arising; self is itself not-self, and is also neither self nor not-self. Non-arising and arising is itself arising and non-arising, and is also non-arising and non-arising; other is itself non-other, and is also neither other nor non-other. Non-arising and non-arising is itself non-arising and arising, and is also arising and non-arising; it is also not double negation, and also not double illumination. Various distinctions are made as spoken above merely to make it easy to understand. Under this there are four [topics]: first, the intention of cultivating the contemplation of the middle; second, the conditions for cultivating the contemplation of the middle; third, properly cultivating the contemplation of the middle; fourth, clarifying the benefits of the stages.
