五、還門。轉心反照，名之為還。行者雖修觀照，而真明未發。若計有我能觀，析破於顛倒，則計我之惑還附觀而生，同於外道，故云是諸外道計著觀空智慧，不得解脫。若覺此患，即當轉心反照能觀之心。若知能觀之心虛誑無實，即附觀執我之倒自亡，因是無漏方便自然而朗，故以還為門。

Fifth is the gate of turning back. Reversing the mind to reflect back upon itself is called 'turning back'. Although the practitioner cultivates contemplative illumination, true illumination has not yet arisen. If one calculates that there is a self capable of contemplating, which analyzes and shatters the inversions, then the delusion of calculating a self arises again clinging to contemplation, becoming identical to non-Buddhists; hence it is said that all these non-Buddhists calculate and cling to the wisdom of contemplating emptiness, failing to attain liberation. If one becomes aware of this danger, one should immediately reverse the mind to reflect back upon the contemplating mind. If one knows that the contemplating mind is deceptive and without reality, then the inversion of grasping at a self by clinging to contemplation naturally perishes, and because of this the untainted skillful means naturally become clear and bright; therefore, turning back is taken as a gate.
