答曰：不然。雖同據五支明因用，就默然為體果，然義意有異。所以者何？因中五支，為感默然之果。因默然之果，起五支之法。此就默然為體，五支為用。例如三十七品，道前為因，道後為用。

Answer: It is not so. Although they equally rely on the five factors to explain cause and function, and take the silent mind as essence and effect, their conceptual meanings differ. Why? The five factors within the cause serve to bring about the effect of silence. Due to the effect of silence, the dharmas of the five factors arise. This takes silence as the essence and the five factors as the function. This is like the thirty-seven aids to awakening, which are the cause prior to the path and the function after the path.
