Contemplating mind by going through dharmas (Lei Li-fa Wei-kuan)
Sūtra that is explained by going through dharmas can be approached by contemplating mind. How is this mind contemplation accomplished? This is to identify two opposite aspects as one identical entity, which is of no-distinction of neither this nor that. To be specific, Chih-i points out that if a Mahāyānist contemplates his mind, he contemplates evil mind as being non-evil mind. This means that evil is identical to good and is also neither evil nor good. He contemplates wholesome mind as being non-wholesome mind. This means that non-wholesome is identified with evil and is also neither wholesome nor evil. He contemplates one mind being identical to three minds (i.e., Emptiness, the Provisional Existence, and the Middle Way). With these three kinds of mind that embrace all dharmas, he experiences all minds and all dharmas. In other words, all dharmas are contained in one mind, and mind reflects the true reality that consists of three aspects (Emptiness, the Provisionality, and the Middle Way). One and three is identical to each other, given that three aspects describe one true reality, and one reality consists of three aspects. Such a way of contemplating mind is the foundation for all words, principle and practices. By contemplating mind, each of the meanings sūtra contains can all be embraced by the mind.
