第三、明修證者，所以心名修證者，即是作心修習。心未相應證者，即是任運開發，心得相應。既有三師制立觀法不同，今亦修有證之異，但前師云：「於欲界、未到地及初禪中，約四念處明十六特勝。」觀法大意亦不異如前說六妙門中觀法，而非無小小不同。而名目有異，善尋配當，其義可解，此則不煩別說修證也。

Third, clarifying cultivation and realization. Why are they called "cultivation" and "realization"? Cultivation is generating the intention to practice; when the mind is not yet in accord, realization is the spontaneous unfolding, the mind attaining accord. Since there are three masters establishing the contemplation methods differently, now cultivation and realization also have differences. However, the former master said: "Within the desire realm, the anāgamya, and the first dhyāna, the sixteen sublime practices are clarified in terms of the four applications of mindfulness." The general meaning of the contemplation method is also no different from the contemplation method taught earlier in the six subtle gates, though not without minor differences. While the terms differ, if one properly investigates their correspondences, the meaning can be understood, so there is no need to trouble oneself with explaining cultivation and realization separately.
