Third, explaining the treatment for the arising of delusion regarding the worldly primal nature: seeing a subtle primal nature as able to produce the myriad dharmas—such perverted thinking is called calculating the worldly primal nature, as explained extensively before. As for the method of counteraction, one should instead practice the contemplation of the twelve links of dependent origination in a single mind-moment. Why? The practitioner deeply contemplates that within a single mind-moment the twelve are fully present: the one is not twelve, and the twelve are not one, yet now in terms of the one we speak of twelve, and in terms of the twelve we speak of one. One should know that the one has no fixed nature; because there is no fixed unity, the worldly primal nature is unobtainable. Therefore, through the contemplation of the twelve links of dependent origination in a single mind-moment, one shatters the perverted delusion of grasping at a worldly primal nature. This contemplation of the twelve links of dependent origination in a single mind-moment mostly shatters the view of grasping at oneness and difference; now one can also use this to shatter the delusion of provisional relativity.
