仁王護國般若經疏 3.8

3.8

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.
