8.38

復次，若離心有八相，離八相有心者，此則心非八相，八相非心。若心非八相，則心但有名無相，無相之法，是不名心。若八相離心，八相則無所遷，即不名八相，八相無所相故。如是審諦求之，則心與八相本自不有，亦不依他有性，性如虛空，無一異相，故名大覺。覺前息、色一一亦當如是分別。此則略說上品覺、大覺之相。

Furthermore, if apart from the mind there were the eight characteristics, and apart from the eight characteristics there were the mind, then the mind would not be the eight characteristics, and the eight characteristics would not be the mind. If the mind were not the eight characteristics, then the mind would have only a name and no characteristics; a phenomenon devoid of characteristics is not called 'mind.' If the eight characteristics were apart from the mind, the eight characteristics would have nothing to shift, and thus could not be called 'the eight characteristics,' because the eight characteristics would have nothing to characterize. Examining and seeking it thoroughly in this way, the mind and the eight characteristics do not fundamentally exist of themselves, nor do they possess an intrinsic nature dependent upon another; their nature is like empty space, without any characteristic of oneness or difference. Therefore it is called great vitarka. Perceiving the preceding breath and form, one should also differentiate each in this same manner. This is a brief explanation of the characteristics of superior vitarka and great vitarka.
