四明十義書 2.165

2.165

且大林精舍是依報色入，以理智體之，正同方等普賢歷尊容道具，用法門體達，此則方是託事之觀。此玄為生信解，直示果德十種法相。既不歷於依報色入體之，那名託事之觀？

Now, the Great Forest Monastery is an environment-retribution form-entrance; realizing it through principle and wisdom is precisely like the Vaipulya and Samantabhadra [practices] coursing through the revered features and ritual implements and realizing them through dharma-gates—only this is contemplation entrusting to phenomena. This Xuan[yi], in order to generate faith and understanding, directly indicates the ten kinds of doctrinal marks of the fruit-virtue. Since it does not course through an environment-retribution form-entrance to realize them, how can it be called contemplation entrusting to phenomena?
