2.225

然《妙經》與此經,約乎教部帶不帶、開未開,而辨融不融相,在其詰難書中也。上人既被詰難,深知錯下謗法之言,內心雖伏而外相不甘,遂作數般道理分疏抵諱。雖即費詞,其奈分疏不開、抵諱不得。何者?豈不答疑書意云:《妙玄》十法不以理融,故須立觀心融之。此玄十法既以理融,遂不須觀心融之。正意在此,故無所隱也。

Now, the characteristics of whether the Wondrous Scripture and this sūtra are harmonized or unharmonized, in terms of whether the doctrinal divisions bring along [expedients] or do not bring along, and whether they have opened [the expedient] or not yet opened, are present in the Letter of Interrogation. Having been interrogated, your reverence knew deep down that you had wrongly uttered words slandering the Dharma; though submissive within, you were unwilling to concede on the surface, and thus concocted several kinds of rationales to make excuses and deny it. Although you expended many words, you could neither talk your way out of it nor deny it. Why is this? Is it not the meaning of the Letter Answering Doubts that: 'The ten dharmas of the Miaoxuan are not harmonized through principle, and therefore one must establish contemplation of the mind to harmonize them. Since the ten dharmas of this Profound Meaning are already harmonized through principle, one therefore does not need contemplation of the mind to harmonize them'? Your true intention lay precisely here, and so it cannot be hidden.
