English version: And possessing the wondrous mind of the Four Wisdoms of Bodhi (si zhi pu ti, the enlightenment of four kinds of wisdom), and the qualities of the mind corresponding to the Great Perfect Mirror Wisdom (da yuan jing zhi, wisdom that reflects everything like a great round mirror), the flawless body and land (wu lou shen tu, pure body and land without afflictions and defects) manifested are of wondrous colors, thus enabling constant enjoyment of this true bliss. The Perfect Teaching also uses the causes and effects of the Ten Realms (shi fa jie, ten different states of existence), collectively referring to all actions as impermanent, and collectively referring to everything as arising and ceasing, but understanding that cause and effect are the true nature of reality (shi xiang, the true essence of things), impermanence is permanence, and arising and ceasing is neither arising nor ceasing, hence the saying 'When arising and ceasing cease, quiescence is bliss.' This is like not severing ignorance and craving but giving rise to luminous liberation, like melting ice into water, so the accomplishment of the Three Thousand Fruits is all called constant bliss. Next is the vertical inclusion, the phrase 'All conditioned things are impermanent' includes the Six Realms of Ordinary Beings (liu fan fa jie, the realms of six kinds of ordinary beings), because they are conditioned and defiled, so they are subject to arising and ceasing; the phrase 'subject to arising and ceasing' includes the realms of the Hearers and Solitary Realizers of the Treasury Teaching (zang jiao, Hinayana Buddhism) and the Common Teaching (tong jiao, teachings common to both Hinayana and Mahayana), because the world-transcending sages can know that they are subject to arising and ceasing; the phrase 'When arising and ceasing cease' includes the realm of the Bodhisattvas of the Distinct Teaching (bie jiao, distinct teachings), because they extinguish the two extremes and return to the Middle Way; the phrase 'quiescence is bliss' includes the realm of the Buddhas of the Perfect Teaching (yuan jiao, perfect teachings), because all dharmas are inherently in a state of quiescence from the beginning. Now, only using these four phrases to prove the biased truth, then the phrases 'All conditioned things are impermanent' and 'are subject to arising and ceasing' are the two truths of suffering and accumulation (ku ji er di, the truths of suffering and accumulation); the phrase 'When arising and ceasing cease', from the perspective of the Three Learnings, is the ability to extinguish, which is the Truth of the Path (dao di, the Truth of the Path), from the perspective of cause and effect, it is what is extinguished, which is the Truth of Cessation (mie di, the Truth of Cessation), the Four Truths are all the phenomena of cause and effect, called the Conventional Truth (an li di, mundane truth); the phrase 'quiescence is bliss', from the perspective of the principle revealed, is the Ultimate Truth (zhen di, ultimate truth), which is the Non-Conventional Truth, so it is said that the principle resides outside of phenomena, which is a biased truth. Knowing that all dharmas arise from causes and conditions In the Stage of Names (ming zi wei, the initial stage of practice), observe the correct realm of causes and conditions, completely destroying the two attachments to self and dharma (wo fa er zhi, attachments to 'self' and 'dharma') of externalists (wai dao, non-Buddhist religions or philosophies) and ordinary people (fan fu, ordinary people). The so-called 'attachment to dharma' does not go beyond the two kinds of wrong causes and conditions (xie yin yuan, wrong causes and conditions) and no causes and conditions (wu yin yuan, no causes and conditions). Time, space, Brahma (shi fang fan tian, Brahma in time and space), etc., are called wrong causes and conditions; nature is called no causes and conditions. The so-called 'attachment to self' is the false belief that there is a permanent, independent, and sovereign 'self'. However, knowing that all dharmas arise from causes and conditions also has the differences of the Four Teachings. If knowing that inherent nature (xing ju, inherent nature) is the cause, delusion and enlightenment are the conditions, and the Three Thousand Aspects (san qian xing xiang, three thousand aspects of things) are the dharmas that arise, then it belongs to the Perfect Teaching. If considering that all seed consciousness (yi qie zhong shi, all seed consciousness) is the cause, mutual perfuming is the condition, and the changes of segmented life and death (fen duan bian yi, changes of segmented life and death) and even the Four Wisdoms of Bodhi are the dharmas that arise, then it belongs to the Distinct Teaching. If using the defiled seeds (you lou zhong zi, defiled seeds) corresponding to the six consciousnesses (liu shi xiang ying, six consciousnesses interacting) as the cause, the good, bad, and neutral realms of the six sense objects (liu chen mei e zhong yong jing jie, good, bad, and neutral realms of the six sense objects) as the conditions, and the dependent and retributive causes and effects of form and mind in the Three Realms (san jie yi zheng se xin yin guo, dependent and retributive causes and effects of form and mind in the Desire Realm, Form Realm, and Formless Realm) as the dharmas that arise, then it belongs to the Treasury Teaching and the Common Teaching. But the Common Teaching knows the cause, the condition, and the dharma that arises. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version The wisdom of Madhyamaka (Middle Way) that realizes the truth is called 'Jnana', which is the wisdom arising from Samadhi (meditative concentration). The Thirty-Four Minds of True Non-Outflow The eight Kshanti (acceptances) and eight Jnana (wisdoms) of the Path of Seeing are collectively called the sixteen minds. In the Path of Cultivation, regarding the Three Realms and Nine Lands, each land has one Anantarika-marga (path of immediate liberation) and one Vimukti-marga (path of deliverance), collectively called the eighteen minds. Combining the Path of Seeing and the Path of Cultivation, a total of thirty-four minds are achieved. These Samadhi and wisdom are discovered and manifested from the beginningless, inherently complete, non-outflow seeds. Through this present action, one can realize the emptiness of self and the true suchness, hence the saying 'arising the thirty-four minds of true non-outflow'. The merits and wisdom cultivated over three great Asamkhyeya Kalpas (incalculable eons) are the augmenting condition; the beginningless, naturally so, non-outflow seeds are the direct cause. Therefore, one can suddenly arise, suddenly sever, and suddenly realize. However, regarding the afflictions to be severed, they are divided into thirty-four minds; if regarding the ability to sever and realize, it is only non-outflow Samadhi and wisdom. What is realized is only the emptiness of self and true suchness, also called Nirodha (cessation) and Asamskrita (unconditioned). Asamskrita-tathata (unconditioned suchness) does not fall into any numbers; because there are differences in the unconditioned Dharma, it is called thirty-four minds, and it is further divided into gradual and sudden enlightenment, and various other differences. The Four Phrases of Suffering Without Approaching Aspect The various fruits of the Three Realms, both material and mental, dependent and independent, are called Dukkha Satya (Truth of Suffering), like illusions and dreams, entirely empty in their essence, so there is no approaching aspect, meaning Samsara (birth and death) is Nirvana. The afflictions of views and thoughts, and the actions with outflows, are called Samudaya Satya (Truth of the Origin of Suffering), not self-born, not other-born, not both-born, not without cause, so there is no combining aspect, meaning afflictions are Bodhi. Since one realizes that afflictions are Bodhi, the Marga Satya (Truth of the Path) is non-dual, not a separate Dharma as a remedy. Since one realizes that Samsara is Nirvana, the Nirodha Satya (Truth of Cessation) has no arising aspect, not a separate Dharma to be attained. However, this is only emptiness, so it is different from the perfect teaching's immediate middle. Ignorance is Like Empty Space, Even Old Age and Death are Like Empty Space; Ignorance is Like Illusion, Not Attainable, Therefore Even Old Age and Death are Like Illusion, Not Attainable Ignorance is Avidya (ignorance). The flowing and ceasing of the Twelve Nidanas (links of dependent origination), the names and forms are not different from the previous Tripitaka teaching, but with the wisdom of emptiness, one realizes that arising is non-arising, and ceasing is non-ceasing. 'Ignorance is like empty space' etc., means contemplating ignorance, not inside, not outside, not in between, like empty space, only a name, without any substance. Actions etc. can be inferred. 'Ignorance is like illusion' etc., means ignorance is not self-born, not other-born, not both-born, not without cause, because its essence is unattainable. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
