答。祖佛大意。唯說二空。證會一心真如本性。所以百法論云。如世尊言。一切法無我。云何一切法。所謂心法。云何二無我。所謂人無我。法無我。若一切眾生。但得人法俱空。知一切法。即心自性。復更有何異法而敷演乎。如瑜伽論。是無著菩薩。請彌勒所說。論云。無著菩薩。位登初地。證法光定。得大神通。事大慈尊。請說此論。理無不窮。事無不盡。文無不釋。義無不詮。疑無不遣。執無不破。行無不修。果無不證。正為菩薩。令於諸乘境行果等。皆得善巧。勤修大行。證大菩提。廣為有情。常無倒說。乃至瑜伽中行觀無少法。欲令證得。及欲現觀。或說究竟清淨真如。名為瑜伽理中最極。一切功德共相應故。

Answer: The grand purport of the patriarchs and Buddhas speaks only of the two emptinesses, realizing and meeting the original nature of the one mind's tathatā. Therefore the Treatise on the Hundred Dharmas says: 'As the World-Honoured One said: "All phenomena are without self." What are all phenomena? They are what are called the mental dharmas. What are the two non-selves? They are the so-called non-self of persons and non-self of phenomena.' If all sentient beings merely attain the emptiness of both persons and phenomena and know that all phenomena are the intrinsic nature of the citta itself, what other different phenomena would there be to expound? Take the Yogācārabhūmiśāstra: it was expounded by Maitreya at the request of Bodhisattva Asaṅga. The treatise says: 'Bodhisattva Asaṅga ascended to the first bhūmi, realized the concentration of the light of the Dharma, obtained great supernormal powers, served the Great Compassionate Honoured One, and requested him to speak this treatise. There is no principle it does not exhaust, no phenomenon it does not fully detail, no passage it does not explain, no meaning it does not interpret, no doubt it does not dispel, no attachment it does not shatter, no practice it does not cultivate, and no fruit it does not realize. It is precisely for bodhisattvas, to cause them to be skillful regarding the objects, practices, and fruits of the various yānas, diligently cultivate great practice, realize great bodhi, and constantly teach sentient beings without inversion.' It even says that in the practice and contemplation of yoga, there is not the slightest phenomenon; it wishes to cause them to realize and attain it, and wishes for direct contemplation, or says that the ultimately pure tathatā is named the supreme culmination among the principles of yoga, because all merits correspond together with it.
