上人本立十種三法,已純談理觀故,廢於附法觀心。十法之中既不簡示陰識為所觀境,又不明於十乘,何名純談理觀?既非理觀,後文觀心安可輒廢耶?能破之宗既壞,觀心之義何傷。若欲改轉,速請相聞。

You, Venerable Sir, originally established that the ten kinds of threefold dharmas already purely discuss principle contemplation, and therefore abolished the contemplation of the mind appending to teachings. Within the ten dharmas, since you neither select and demonstrate the aggregate of consciousness as the contemplated object, nor elucidate the ten vehicles, how can it be called purely discussing principle contemplation? Since it is not principle contemplation, how could the contemplation of the mind in the subsequent text be arbitrarily abolished? Now that the thesis capable of refutation has collapsed, what harm is there to the meaning of contemplating the mind? If you wish to change your views, please inform me promptly.
