[On the passage] "If the meaning...": this means lacking them becomes slander; possessing them becomes a gate. Becoming slander means: lacking nonexistence becomes the slander of superimposition; lacking existence becomes the slander of deprecation; lacking neither existence nor nonexistence becomes the slander of contradiction; lacking both existence and nonexistence becomes the slander of frivolous proliferation. Because existence would be definitively existent and nonexistence definitively nonexistent—the other two follow this pattern—they form four slanders. Why? Because dharmas are not like this, and one does not see according to dharma. In this case, prajñāpāramitā is like a great heap of fire, ungraspable on all four sides.
