法智遺編觀心二百問 1.109

問：《示珠》以外觀豁同真淨是六根淨位，則成結前外觀至六根已，方乃生後令修內觀，豈名字全無內觀耶？

Question: The Shizhu regards the external contemplation being broadly identical to the truly pure as the stage of the purity of the six sense faculties; this means that only after concluding what came before—external contemplation reaching the six sense faculties—does it introduce what follows to cause the cultivation of internal contemplation. Could it be that the verbal stage of identity is entirely without internal contemplation?
