依人人之機根，而觀世間有等差。凡夫觀三界之樂，歡喜遊戲而不覺知。二乘觀三界之苦，如火宅不安。菩薩觀三界之空緣想見相猶如空花。諸佛觀三界為唯心，世間諸物皆為妙明之心。
The world from four points of view: that of men in general-- its pleasures, thoughtlessly; of śrāvakas andpratyekabuddhas-- as a burning house, uneasily; of bodhisattvas-- as an empty flower; of Buddhas-- as mind, all things being for (or of) intelligent mind.
一四人觀世 謂四種根機不同之人，觀世（包括欲界、色界、無色界等三界）之時各有不同之感。(1)凡夫觀三界之樂，心生歡喜，遊戲其中，而不覺知苦、空等諦理。(2)聲聞、緣覺二乘觀三界之苦，猶如火宅，深覺不安。(3)菩薩觀三界之空緣，想見諸法皆如空花，虛幻不實。(4)諸佛觀三界，了知一切皆為心識所變現，世間諸物皆為妙明之心。p2124
