妙法蓮華經玄義 9.14

9.14

五、約斷斷、不斷斷者，夫至理虛無，無明體性本自不有，何須智慧？解惑既無，安用圓別？《涅槃》云：「誰有智慧？誰有煩惱？」《淨名》曰：「婬、怒、癡性即是解脫」，又「不斷癡愛起於明脫」，此則不論斷不斷。《大經》云：「闇時無明，明時無闇。有智慧時，則無煩惱。」此用智慧斷煩惱也。

Fifth, regarding severing by severing versus severing without severing: The ultimate principle is empty and non-existent; the essence of ignorance is fundamentally non-existent, so why would wisdom be required? Once understanding and delusion are both absent, what use are the distinctive and the perfect? The Nirvāṇa [Sūtra] says: 'Who possesses wisdom? Who possesses afflictions?' The Vimalakīrti [Sūtra] states: 'The nature of lust, anger, and delusion is itself liberation,' and further: 'Without severing delusion and craving, one gives rise to clear liberation.' This is not discussing severing and non-severing. The Great Sūtra says: 'When it is dark, there is no light; when it is light, there is no darkness. When there is wisdom, there are no afflictions.' This refers to using wisdom to sever afflictions.
