○三、正修中觀者，此觀正破無明。無明懸絕，非眼慮見知，云何可觀？例如初觀觀真，真無色像，亦無方所，但觀陰入界心三假之惑，四句推求，巧修止觀，得無漏發，名為「見真」。次觀觀假，假復云何？但觀空智能令不空，於一心中點示萬行，即發法眼，遍知藥、病，故名「假觀」。

> Third, correctly cultivating the middle contemplation: this contemplation directly breaks avidyā. Avidyā is remote and utterly beyond; it is not seen or known by eye or thought; how can it be contemplated? By analogy, the first contemplation contemplates the true: the true has neither form nor shape, nor any location; one merely contemplates the delusions of the three provisionalities of the mind in aggregates, sense bases, and elements, investigating through the four propositions and skillfully cultivating calming and contemplation, so that the outflow-free emerges—this is called 'seeing the true'. Next, the contemplation contemplates the provisional: what is the provisional again? One merely contemplates that empty wisdom can cause non-emptiness, pointing out the ten thousand practices within a single mind, which immediately brings forth the Dharma eye to know comprehensively both medicines and diseases; hence it is called the 'contemplation of the provisional'.
