四明十義書 1.64

1.64

上人議論之前，凡得幾迴聽講、幾迴溫習、幾迴說授，還曾於此境觀分藥病否？若能分之，何故將所觀為能觀耶？然雖知改之為貴，奈何錯解既深其根難拔，只略知分境觀之文，而殊不能分境觀之義。

Before your reverence engaged in this debate, how many times did you listen to lectures, how many times did you review, and how many times did you instruct others? Did you ever distinguish the medicine from the sickness with regard to this object and contemplation? If you could distinguish them, why did you take the object of contemplation to be the agent of contemplation? Although you know that "to correct them is what is prized," alas, your erroneous understanding is already deep and its roots hard to pull up; you only know slightly how to separate the texts on object and contemplation, but you are entirely unable to differentiate the meaning of object and contemplation.
