妙法蓮華經玄義 6.11

6.11

When noumenal goodness clearly arises, noumenal darkness is bound to be eliminated; it never happens that noumenal evil is eliminated and only then does noumenal goodness begin to arise. Therefore, noumenal goodness is called the paramārtha siddhānta. If phenomenal goodness arises, phenomenal evil is not necessarily removed; if phenomenal evil is removed, phenomenal goodness does not necessarily arise. Phenomena involve separation and distinction, and the diagnostic siddhānta is precisely the mutual opposition of medicine and illness; therefore, the paramārtha siddhānta is not opened within it. The meaning lies right here.
