How to Accord with and Penetrate the Dharma

The Five Aggregates, Eighteen Realms, and Twelve Entrances all arise through the convergence of various conditions and cease when the conditions disperse. How is one to truly apprehend this principle? The conscious mind can think it over and roughly grasp it, yet you yourself can also recognize this is not genuine understanding. It requires deep and precise comprehension of its meaning, grounded in reason and evidence. This necessitates suspending this principle within the mind during meditation, allowing the manas (intellect root) to contemplate it single-mindedly, engaging in constant and meticulous contemplation. The contemplation by manas is stealthy, continuous, and non-attached to objects; it possesses a certain height and depth, which is called viewing from a higher perspective.
