般若心經略疏連珠記 2.5

2.5

經「度」下，四、明利益。夫一切苦厄，二死收盡。今見真空，度已盡矣。何者？清涼曰：「乘人空觀行，出分段生死，永處涅槃。乘二空觀行，雙照人法二我畢竟空無所有，則離諸怖畏，度一切苦厄。」出變易生死，名究竟解脫。苦謂五苦、八苦。變易謂因緣等四種生死，如《唯識》等說。依此觀行得究竟樂果，佛德空乎？

From the sūtra's "relieved" down, the fourth [section] clarifies the benefit. All suffering and distress are completely contained within the two kinds of birth and death. Now that true emptiness has been seen, salvation is already complete. Why is this? Qingliang says: "Relying on the contemplative practice of the emptiness of the person, one transcends karmic birth and death and abides forever in nirvāṇa. Relying on the contemplative practice of the two emptinesses, mutually illuminating that both personal and dharmic selves are ultimately empty and nonexistent, one is freed from all fears and relieves all suffering and distress." Transcending birth and death through transformation is called ultimate liberation. Suffering refers to the five sufferings and the eight sufferings. Transformation refers to the four kinds of birth and death, such as conditioning, as explained in texts like the *Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi*. Gaining the ultimate fruit of bliss by relying on this contemplative practice—how could the Buddha's virtues be in vain?
