4.217

不執等者。謂若全棄非之於言,則安解諸法空義?將知但除其病不除其法,此遮一向離言者也。是則全執全棄二皆不可,故《華嚴疏》云:「夫法無言象、非離言象,無言象而倒惑,執言象而迷真。」

On 'Not clinging…' and so forth: If one entirely discards the words of negation ('non-'), how could one understand the meaning of the emptiness of all phenomena? One must know that one only eliminates the disease, not the medicine (the phenomena); this refutes those who depart exclusively from words. Thus, clinging entirely or discarding entirely are both impermissible. Therefore the Avataṃsaka Commentary says: 'Now, the Dharma has no words or images, yet is not apart from words and images; lacking words and images, one is inverted and deluded; clinging to words and images, one is confused about the true.'
