《輔行》釋曰「意止觀中，先念三十二相以為觀境。又念我當下，正明於境，以修三觀。我所念諸句中佛字，一自心三昧所見佛、二西方從因感果佛。今具二義，共為一境，為順理故。從初義釋，三昧既成，隨念即見。見是心性名心作佛。佛既心作，故見佛時名見自心。若見自心，即見佛心，以彼佛心是我心故。故此中意，但觀自心及所見佛不出法性，故見佛心即見己心。己心佛心即是中道。」四明《融心解》曰「止觀判般舟文，心佛叵得為空，夢事宛然為假，心不見心為中。說則三相歷然，修則一念備（矣）。」

> The Fuxing comments: "In mental stopping and seeing, one first contemplates the thirty-two marks as the object of contemplation. From 'Furthermore, one reflects: Shall I...' onward, it directly clarifies cultivating the threefold contemplation with respect to the object. The word 'Buddha' in the phrases 'what my mind contemplates' refers, first, to the Buddha seen through one's own mind's samādhi, and second, to the Buddha of the western direction who responds to the cause by realizing the fruit. Here both meanings are present and together constitute a single object, in order to accord with the principle. Explaining from the first meaning: once samādhi is accomplished, one sees \[the Buddha\] in accordance with mindfulness. Seeing this nature of mind is called 'the mind making the Buddha'. Since the Buddha is made by the mind, when seeing the Buddha it is called seeing one's own mind. If one sees one's own mind, one sees the Buddha-mind, because that Buddha-mind is my own mind. Therefore, the intention here is simply to contemplate that one's own mind and the Buddha seen do not go beyond dharmatā; hence, seeing the Buddha-mind is seeing one's own mind. One's own mind and the Buddha-mind are just the Middle Way." Siming's Rongxin jie states: "The Zhiguan classifies the text of the Pratyutpanna: mind and Buddha being ungraspable is emptiness; the dream events being vivid is provisionality; the mind not seeing the mind is the middle. In explanation, the three aspects are distinct; in cultivation, they are complete in a single thought."
