仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.613

2.613

Explanation: "If a bodhisattva" indicates the practicing person. "Does not attach to letters" eliminates attachment conforming to literal words. "Does not depart from letters" means one should not nihilistically negate them. "Is without the marks of letters" means one should not abide in marks. "Yet not without letters" means that, free from conceptual differentiation, one cultivates in accordance with letters, and through each and every letter attains the liberative cognition of the true mark. First, one leaves behind attachment to existence; next, one leaves behind nihilistic negation; next, one does not abide in marks; finally, one conforms to liberation. Next, the second section eliminates the marks of cultivation.
