上人本計事法二觀全不揀示陰心,因引此文,却成二觀有揀陰義也,得非己義自破壞耶?上人本計事法之觀不可修習,文中既云不待觀陰,又云即聞即修起精進心,不待陰境之義既其全壞,須是不待《止觀》專明妙觀之境也。既令不待,又令即修,正當不待《止觀》即修事法觀也。
The Superior originally reckoned that the two contemplations of phenomena and teachings do not single out or indicate the mind of consciousness at all; but because you cited this passage, you turned around and made the two contemplations possess the meaning of singling out the aggregates. Is this not a self-demolition of your own position? The Superior originally reckoned that the contemplation of phenomenal teachings cannot be cultivated and practiced; yet since the text says 'not depending on contemplating the aggregates' and also says 'cultivating as soon as one hears, arousing an energetic mind,' once the meaning of 'not depending on the object of the aggregates' is completely demolished, it must mean not depending on the Zhiguan specifically clarifying the object of wonderful contemplation. Since it instructs not to depend [on it] and also instructs one to cultivate immediately, it precisely means cultivating the contemplation of phenomenal teachings immediately without depending on the Zhiguan.
