法智遺編觀心二百問 1.19

1.19

問：《答疑書》云「此玄文直顯心性」，今何改云「學者備覽《妙玄》，已知心性遍生遍佛，故觀此果法知是心性。」此豈非《妙玄》自顯心性？此玄不顯心性，何得云此直顯心性耶？

Question: The Dayi shu states: 'The text of this Xuan directly reveals the mind-nature.' Why do you now change this to say: 'Scholars who have thoroughly examined the Miaoxuan already know that the mind-nature pervades sentient beings and pervades buddhas; therefore, contemplating these fruition dharmas, they know they are the mind-nature'? Is this not admitting that the Miaoxuan itself reveals the mind-nature, while this Xuan does not reveal the mind-nature? How then could you say that this [text] directly reveals the mind-nature?
