仁王護國般若經疏 3.8

3.8

問：《淨名》云「一切皆如」，此云「不觀色如」，何耶？答：若偏觀一切皆如，還是斷；若不觀如，還是常。《淨名》云如，令離常見；此云不觀，令離斷見。二見既離，中道自明矣云云。

Question: The Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa says "all are suchness", whereas this [text] says "does not contemplate form as suchness"; why is that? Answer: If one one-sidedly contemplates all as suchness, it is still [the view of] annihilation; if one does not contemplate suchness, it is still [the view of] permanence. The Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa speaks of suchness to cause one to leave behind the view of permanence; this [text] speaks of non-contemplation to cause one to leave behind the view of annihilation. Once the two views are abandoned, the Middle Way becomes clear of itself, and so forth.
