2.61

"One should give rise to the notion of dharmas." This clarifies the contemplation of the emptiness of dharmas. The text has three parts: first, indicating dharmas; second, distinguishing the marks of dharmas; third, extinguishing the notion of dharmas. This is the first. [Seng]zhao says: "The notion of a self is a grave affliction, so one removes the notion of self and generates the notion of dharmas. The notion of dharmas is an illness with respect to emptiness, but a medicine with respect to the self. Seeking balance between the lowly and the elevated, one provisionally adopts this as a beginning."
