淨土生無生論 1.3

1.3

In composing this treatise, ten gates are established: / First, the gate of the one true Dharma-realm; / Second, the gate of the conditioned arising of bodies and lands; / Third, the gate of the mutual identity of mind and land; / Fourth, the gate of the non-duality of sentient beings and Buddhas; / Fifth, the gate of taking the Dharma-realm as mindfulness; / Sixth, the gate of object and contemplation mutually swallowing each other; / Seventh, the gate of the threefold contemplation as naturally so; / Eighth, the gate of stimulus and response operating effortlessly; / Ninth, the gate of this and that being eternally one; / Tenth, the gate of present and future mutually subsisting.
