One should realize that the wisdom of knowing awareness and the Dharmadhatu of knowable dharmas are inseparable, and realize it as true attachment. Hatred is like being tormented by objects. One should realize that the nature of mind is unborn, hating various characteristics, or not clinging to anything, and realize it as true hatred. Ignorance is like not being able to distinguish differences due to delusion. One should realize that the truth of Dharmata is without distinction, without difference between beginning and end, and realize it as true ignorance. Pride is like being full of arrogance.

也使之证悟。 这与下乘认为的比喻和意义不同。此处认为比喻和意义无别,因此可以衡量。其中,辩驳分为共同和个别两种。 第一种是:本体、报身之相和比喻的理由没有差别,因为两者都以显现世间所见所闻来象征。如果这样说,答:有差别。两种相是:不依赖于言语的表达,而是见到法性的自性符号。而这依赖于比喻的解说,以比喻象征并确定意义,因此不相同。 第二种是个别,分为辩驳和回答两种。第一种辩驳是:如虚空不可执持,以及不可执持的风。这样说,虚空和风两者都被说成是不可执持的象征,因此是重复或者没有差别。如果这样说,回答分为两种。第一种是:虽然所象征的意义没有差别,但象征的比喻却有差别。虚空的不可执持是周遍一切法的,因此是共同的;风的不可执持是个别的。 第二种是:虚空因为远离了作为障碍的触觉,所以是不可执持的;风因为没有远离作为障碍的触觉,所以是不可执持的。 第三,无论从何处确定,都能确定意义。正直。以量、经论的理由,以及声音一致、意义推测的理由等所说的,要知道作为所证立的宗派的体性是什么,为了使意义得以确定,通过如清净平等之类的词语的定义来确定,以及通过如大自在等体性的方式,以及通过自共相的定义等,以及在这些范畴中,通过自性无别的理由,这样,无论从哪个理由的角度来确定,都要充分理解和领会宗派平等性的意义。 第三,总结性的教导分为两种:计数。第一,教导必须具备了解见地的誓言。正直。在见到见地的体性时,以分别认识一切偏执的智慧来摧毁,即不离无偏袒自显现之义的誓言,以及在确定了知因之相的见地时,不离证悟之方便
