7.18

今此六妙門、十六特勝、通明等,並正用實觀成就,然後用慧行觀觀理入道。所以者何?名實者,如眾生一期果報,實有四大,不淨三十六物所成,但以無明覆蔽,心眼不開明,則不依實而見。若能審諦觀察,心眼開明,依實而見,故名實慧行觀。及得解觀,在下四諦、十二因緣、九想、背捨等中,當廣分別。

Now, these six subtle gates, sixteen sublime practices, penetrating clarity, and so forth all properly use the perfection of actual contemplation, and thereafter use contemplation of the practice of wisdom to contemplate the principle and enter the path. Why is this? As for what is called 'actual': like the karmic retribution of a sentient being's single lifetime, it actually consists of the four great elements and is formed of thirty-six impure substances. But because one is veiled by ignorance and the mind's eye is not open and clear, one does not see in accordance with the actuality. If one can closely and truthfully observe so that the mind's eye opens and clears, seeing in accordance with the actuality, it is therefore called the actual contemplation of the practice of wisdom. As for contemplation of conceptual comprehension, it will be distinguished extensively below under the four truths, the twelve links of dependent origination, the nine notions, the liberations, and so forth.
