雙流 [shuang liu]—Shuangliu — [Term] Cultivating the Path (化道 [hua dao]) and Contemplating the Mind (觀心 [guan xin]) are two matters that proceed in parallel. The Treatise on the Four Teachings (四教儀 [si jiao yi]) states: "The Way and contemplation are a double flow." The Summary of the Great Meaning of the Three Treatises (三論大義鈔 [san lun da yi chao]) states: "Virtue encompasses the three endurements, and the Way penetrates the double flow."

雙流—【術語】化道與觀心,二事並行也。四教儀曰:「道觀雙流。」三論大義鈔一曰:「德備三忍,道貫雙流。」
