This paper aims to investigate the Chapter on the Co-objectifying of the Four Parts of the Mind 四分相緣門 in Zenju's 善珠 the Determination of the Four Types of Consciousness 唯識分量決. In this case, co-objectifying means that each of the four parts of the mind 四分 objectify each other part. In the hetu-stage, there is no co-objectifying relationship except for between the self-consciousness自証分 and the awareness of the self-consciousness 証自証分. However, in the phala-stage there are two types of co-objectifying relations, which is divided into the 'four parts within the mind alone’ 同體四分 and the ‘four parts within the mind and mental factors’ 同聚異體四分. In the case of the four parts within the mind alone 同體四分, Kuiji 窺基 presents two kinds of doctrines, and Woncheuk 圓測 four kinds of doctrines. In the case of the four parts within the mind and mental factors 同聚異體四分, Kuiji presents a view that each of the latter three parts 後3分 objectify all of the four parts within the mind and mental factors. Woncheuk presents two views: one is the view that the seeing part objectifies all the parts within the mind and mental factors 見通緣四, and the other the view that each of the latter three parts 後3分 objectify all of the four parts within the mind and mental factors. Dojeung 道証, the disciple of Woncheuk, endorses the view that each of the latter three parts objectify all the four parts in the case of the four parts within the mind alone, and that each of the latter three parts objectify all the four parts within the mind and mental factors. From this point, we can come to the conclusion that Kuiji and Woncheuk claim the same doctrine. In order to elucidate the difference of the four parts of the mind between the hetu-stage and the phala-stage, Kuiji invents new terms called familiarly gaining 親得 and newly gaining 新得, while Woncheuk creates the terms of primary gaining and secondarygaining 兼.
