What are two approaches to the view in dharma practice

We usually divide dharma into view, meditation, and conduct. There are two approaches to the view, one is the sutra approach using reasoning. In this approach, we can generate confidence in the view through analysis and inferential reasoning. We can become confident that we have sufficiently analyzed a particular topic and that we have determined its nature. The second approach, the Vajrayana approach to the view, makes no use of inferential analysis, but is direct experience. It is this approach to the view that is referred to in these two quotations and this section of the text. In other words, from the point of direct experience, seeing the mind directly and yet not seeing anything is possible.
