"Contemplating detachment, yet cultivating goodness in body and mind; contemplating that there is nothing to rely upon, yet taking refuge in wholesome dharmas; contemplating non-birth, yet shouldering all through the dharma of birth; contemplating the undefiled, yet not severing defilements; contemplating that there is nothing to practice, yet transforming sentient beings through the dharma of practice; contemplating emptiness and nonexistence, yet not abandoning great compassion; contemplating the stage of the true Dharma, yet not following the Lesser Vehicle." This is the third section, explaining miscellaneous practices. Although defilement of body and mind is detached from signs, they manifest body and mind to cultivate goodness. Although dharma nature is equal, they manifest taking refuge in wholesome dharmas. Although the principle is fundamentally non-arising, they manifest birth to save beings. Although defilements are fundamentally pure, they manifest the practice of defilements. Although fundamental awakening is without practice, they manifest practice to lead beings. Although the nature of sentient beings is empty, they do not abandon compassionate rescue. The 'stage of the true Dharma' is the ground of seeing reality and entering realization; through great compassion, they do not follow the Lesser Vehicle in grasping realization.
