English version: It is none other than the Middle Way (the truth of non-duality). Both 'Principle-inherent' and 'Event-created' threefold thousands (referring to two states of all phenomena in the universe, 'Principle-inherent' refers to the inherent threefold nature in the principle, and 'Event-created' refers to the threefold phenomena manifested by the combination of causes and conditions) are unified in a single thought. Just as one thought contains all thoughts, so are all other thoughts. Just as the Mind-Dharma contains all Buddha-Dharmas and sentient being Dharmas, so it is as well. 'Contemplation-in-Action is Buddha' refers to the stage of the Outer Five Grades (referring to the initial stage in the order of practice). These include: 1. Rejoicing; 2. Reading and Reciting; 3. Explaining; 4. Concurrently Practicing the Six Paramitas; 5. Directly Practicing the Six Paramitas. Through these practices, one can fully subdue the Five Skandha Afflictions (the five fundamental afflictions), which is equivalent to the Ten Faiths of the Separate Teaching, but far surpasses them. 'Resemblance to Buddha' refers to the stage of the Inner Ten Faiths (referring to a more advanced stage of practice than the Outer Grades, but not yet truly entering the realm of the sages). (Although the name is the same as the Ten Faiths of the Separate Teaching, the meaning is very different.) In the initial Faith, practice proceeds naturally, first cutting off the Delusion of Views (wrong views), attaining the stage of Non-Regression (not regressing to the state of ordinary beings), which is equivalent to the Initial Abiding of the Separate Teaching and the Initial Fruit of the Hearer Vehicle in the Common Teaching. From the Second to the Seventh Faith, practice naturally cuts off the Delusion of Thought (delusions in thought), equivalent to the Seventh Abiding of the Separate Teaching and the Fourth Fruit of the Hearer Vehicle in the Common Teaching, but far surpasses them. Therefore, Yongjia (Yongjia Xuanjue, a Chan master) said: 'Together eliminating the Four Abidings (referring to the delusions of views, thoughts, dust-like afflictions, and ignorance), this is where they are equal (referring to the degree of similarity).' If it involves subduing the Delusion of Ignorance, the Tripitaka Teaching is insufficient. From the Eighth to the Tenth Faith, practice naturally cuts off the Dust-like Afflictions within and beyond the realms, traveling four hundred yojanas (an ancient Indian unit of length, here referring to the distance of practice), attaining the stage of Non-Regression in Practice (not regressing in practice), which is equivalent to the Ten Directing of the Separate Teaching. 'Partial Realization is Buddha' refers to the stages of the Ten Abidings, Ten Practices, Ten Directings, Ten Grounds, Equal Enlightenment, etc. (referring to the stages of practice where one has already attained fruition). (The names are also the same as in the Separate Teaching, but the meanings are very different.) In the Initial Abiding, one cuts off a portion of Ignorance (fundamental delusion), realizing a portion of the Three Virtues (Dharmakaya Virtue, Prajna Virtue, Liberation Virtue). The One-Mind Three Contemplations (Contemplation of Emptiness, Contemplation of Provisional Existence, Contemplation of the Middle Way) naturally manifest, possessing the Buddha's Five Eyes (Physical Eye, Heavenly Eye, Wisdom Eye, Dharma Eye, Buddha Eye), accomplishing the One-Mind Three Wisdoms (Wisdom of All Aspects, Wisdom of the Path, Wisdom of All Kinds). Traveling five hundred yojanas, one initially arrives at the Treasure Land (a metaphor for Nirvana), initially residing in the Land of Actual Reward and Adornment (the pure land where Buddhas and Bodhisattvas reside), and also partially realizes the Pure Land of Eternal Tranquility and Light (the pure land where the Buddha's Dharmakaya resides). One attains Non-Regression in Mindfulness (thoughts do not regress), accomplishing the Path of No Effort (practice occurs naturally without deliberate effort). One manifests in hundreds of realms, enacting the Eight Aspects of Buddhahood (the eight stages of the Buddha's manifestation of enlightenment). This is equivalent to the Initial Ground of the Separate Teaching. From the Second to the Tenth Abiding, it is equivalent to the Ten Grounds of the Separate Teaching. The Initial Practice is equivalent to the Equal Enlightenment of the Separate Teaching. The Second Practice is equivalent to the Wonderful Enlightenment of the Separate Teaching. From the Third Practice onwards, the wisdom and afflictions that are cut off are unknown even by name to those of the Separate Teaching. 'Ultimate Realization is Buddha' refers to the ultimate fruition of Wonderful Enlightenment (referring to the highest stage). One cuts off the forty-two grades of subtle Ignorance (extremely subtle delusions), forever eliminating them, finally ascending to the summit of Nirvana Mountain (a metaphor for attaining Nirvana), taking emptiness as one's seat (a metaphor for having no attachment), accomplishing the Pure Dharmakaya (the Buddha's true body). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
