若謂諸文或有闕略者,亦須立乎體式之後,方可準例略之。如十二因緣曾立觀法,四諦之後但云觀心可解。既此兩境合有觀心,故於餘境避繁省略。則稟教之者既見諦緣之後有於觀心,則知諸境合皆攝歸己心以觀照之。
If you say that various texts sometimes have omissions, it is also necessary that a standard model has been established beforehand before one may abridge following the precedent. For example, when contemplation methods had been established for the twelvefold dependent origination, after the four truths it merely says 'contemplating the mind can be understood'. Since these two objects both appropriately have contemplation of the mind, it was omitted in the remaining objects to avoid verbosity. Then those who receive the teaching, seeing that contemplation of the mind exists after the truths and conditions, know that all objects should appropriately be gathered back to one's own mind to contemplate and illuminate them.
