止觀輔行傳弘決 5.44

Next, explaining "turning around": first, reciting the mention of "beginning and end" in the two treatises: both treatises take the beginning as dull and the end as sharp. Now mentioning an "instant," it is therefore not identical to them. Next, explaining one's own practice, calming and contemplation are taught together, and the two practices are also first designated. Teaching others takes preaching the Dharma as its basis; therefore, faith comes first and Dharma comes after. One's own practice relies mostly on reflection; therefore, Dharma comes first and faith comes after. In the preceding [section on] teaching others, there were sixteen turns, each belonging to one person; therefore, calming and contemplation were explained separately. Now in one's own practice, both reside in a single person; therefore, calming and contemplation are explained together. Furthermore, previously they were not uncombined, and now they are not unseparated (and so forth).
