12.11

答。一家觀門。永異諸說。該攝一切十方三世若凡若聖一切因果者。良由觀具。具即是假。假即空中。理性雖具。若不觀之。但言觀心。則不稱理。小乘奚嘗不觀心耶。但迷一心具諸法耳。

Answer: The contemplation gateway of our tradition eternally differs from all other theories. That which completely subsumes all causes and effects—whether ordinary or sacred—of the ten directions and the three times is precisely due to contemplating possession. Possession is the provisional; the provisional is emptiness and the middle. Although the nature-principle possesses them, if one does not contemplate it and merely speaks of contemplating the mind, it does not accord with the principle. When did the Hīnayāna ever fail to contemplate the mind? It is simply deluded about the one mind possessing all dharmas.
