The third part, citing sutras to explain the characteristics of cultivating the applications of mindfulness, has three parts: 1. general question based on the sutra, in three parts: asking about abiding in contemplating the internal body and so forth, asking about abiding in contemplating the external body and so forth, and asking about abiding in contemplating the internal and external body and so forth; 2. detailed answers by composing the treatise, in six alternative approaches. The first approach explains the characteristics of cultivation based on sentient and insentient beings and so forth, in four parts: i. answering regarding abiding in contemplating the internal body, in three parts: establishing the cause, revealing the fruit, and conclusion (the three below are the same as this); ii. answering regarding abiding in contemplating the external body; iii. answering regarding abiding in contemplating the internal and external body; iv. answering by analogy for the contemplation of the remaining three dharmas of feeling and so forth, in three parts: explaining the cultivation of the contemplation of internal feeling and so forth, explaining the cultivation of the contemplation of external feeling and so forth, and explaining the cultivation of the contemplation of internal and external feeling and so forth. The second alternative approach explains the characteristics of cultivating the applications of mindfulness based on the faculties, in two parts: general statement; specific explanation, in four parts: explaining contemplation of the internal body, explaining contemplation of the external body, explaining contemplation of the internal and external body, and illustrating the remaining three contemplations by analogy. The third alternative approach explains the characteristics of cultivating the applications of mindfulness based on the three dharmas of pliancy (praśrabdhi) and so forth of the concentrated stage, in two parts: general statement; specific explanation, in four parts: explaining contemplation of the internal body, explaining contemplation of the external body, explaining contemplation of the internal and external body, and illustrating the remaining three contemplations by analogy.
