佛言:「佛子!所謂有諦、無諦、中道第一義諦,是一切諸佛菩薩智母,乃至一切法亦是諸佛菩薩智母。所以者何?諸佛菩薩從法生故。佛子!二諦者,世諦有故不空,無諦空故不有;二諦常爾故不一,聖照空故不二;有佛無佛法界不變故不空,第一無二故不有;無佛有佛法界二相故不一,諸法常清淨故不二;諸佛還為凡夫故不空,無無故不有;空實故不一,本際不生故不二;不壞假名諸法相故不空,諸法即非諸法故不有;法非法故不二,非非法故不一。佛子!二諦義者,不一亦不二、不常亦不斷、不來亦不去、不生亦不滅,而二相即,聖智無二,無二故是諸佛菩薩智母。佛子!十方無極剎土諸佛,皆亦如是說。吾今為是大眾略說明月瓔珞經中二諦要義。」

The Buddha said: "O Son of the Buddha! What are called the truth of existence, the truth of non-existence, and the ultimate truth of the middle way are the mother of wisdom of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas; indeed, all phenomena are also the mother of wisdom of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Why is this? Because all Buddhas and bodhisattvas are born from Dharma. O Son of the Buddha! Regarding the two truths: because conventional truth exists, it is not empty; because the truth of non-existence is empty, it is not existent. Because the two truths are constantly thus, they are not one; because the noble illumination is empty, they are not two. Because the dharmadhātu does not change whether there is a Buddha or no Buddha, it is not empty; because the ultimate is non-dual, it is not existent. Because the dharmadhātu has two signs whether there is no Buddha or a Buddha, they are not one; because all phenomena are eternally pure, they are not two. Because the Buddhas return to act as ordinary beings, it is not empty; because there is no non-existence, it is not existent. Because emptiness is real, they are not one; because the original limit is unarisen, they are not two. Because conventional designations and the signs of all phenomena are not destroyed, it is not empty; because all phenomena are not phenomena, it is not existent. Because phenomena are non-phenomena, they are not two; because they are not non-phenomena, they are not one. O Son of the Buddha! The meaning of the two truths is that they are neither one nor two, neither eternal nor annihilated, neither coming nor going, neither arising nor ceasing; yet the two signs are identical, and noble wisdom is non-dual. Being non-dual, it is the mother of wisdom of all Buddhas and bodhisattvas. O Son of the Buddha! The Buddhas of boundless lands in the ten directions all speak in this way as well. For this great assembly, I now briefly explain the essential meaning of the two truths in the Bright Moon Necklace Sūtra."
