四明十義書 2.222

2.222

上人以全不閑究理故，乃於答疑書首示云：以由玄文十種三法直顯心性，義同理觀。若直爾明十種三法，不以法性融之，則更立觀心一科觀前十法。此如《妙玄》但以三軌類通十法而已，合有觀心一釋，彼文無者略也。今之玄文雖帶十種法相，其如並以法性貫之，法性無外即我一心，若識一心則了諸法。何獨於一念中識十種三法，乃至無量三法若橫若竪，罔不照之全我一念。豈此之外而有法相不融，更須附法作觀乎？應知此玄所談，非但法相圓融，亦乃理觀明白。約此而觀，何謂教觀不分、解行雙失（以由下並是答疑書文，不加減一字，其文收掌見在）。不知上人約於何義，輒云《妙玄》十種三法不以法性融之耶？

Because your reverence is entirely unskilled in inquiring into principle, you stated at the very beginning of the Letter Answering Doubts: 'Because the ten kinds of threefold dharmas in the text of the Profound Meaning directly reveal the mind-nature, their meaning is identical to principle contemplation. If one merely explains the ten kinds of threefold dharmas directly without harmonizing them through dharmatā, then one would additionally establish a section on contemplating the mind to contemplate the preceding ten dharmas. This is like the Miaoxuan merely using the three tracks to categorize and interfuse the ten dharmas, where there ought to be an explanation of contemplating the mind, and its absence in that text is an omission. Although the present text of the Profound Meaning brings along ten kinds of dharma-characteristics, they are nevertheless all interfused through dharmatā. Dharmatā has nothing outside itself—it is simply our single mind. If one recognizes the single mind, one penetrates all dharmas. Why should one only recognize the ten kinds of threefold dharmas in a single thought-moment, up to immeasurable threefold dharmas, whether horizontal or vertical, all illuminated as entirely our single thought-moment? Could there be dharma-characteristics outside this that are not harmonized, such that one would still need to append to teachings to perform contemplation? One should know that what this Profound Meaning discusses is not only the round fusion of dharma-characteristics, but also the clear lucidity of principle contemplation. If one contemplates based on this, how could it be said that teaching and contemplation are not distinguished, or that understanding and practice are both lost?' (From 'Because' onward, this is all text from the Letter Answering Doubts, without adding or deleting a single character; the text is preserved in hand). I do not know on the basis of what principle your reverence rashly claimed that the ten kinds of threefold dharmas in the Miaoxuan are not harmonized through dharmatā?
