法智遺編觀心二百問 1.161

1.161

問：《止觀》二境觀法全在名字中示，因何《答疑書》五番言「修二觀皆在觀行五品位中」？偶一迴云五品初心便自歸觀行，那於今來改轉，將五品初心却為名字？既朗自結歸觀行，如何翻改為名字耶？

Question: The contemplation methods of the two objects in the Zhiguan are entirely expounded within the verbal stage of identity. Why did the Dayi shu state five times that 'practicing the two contemplations is entirely within the stage of the five grades of contemplation practice'? On one occasion, it said that the initial mind of the five grades naturally belongs to contemplation practice. Why have you now changed and turned the initial mind of the five grades back into the verbal stage of identity? Since it was already clearly concluded as belonging to contemplation practice, how could you overturn it to be the verbal stage?
