法華玄論 2.171

2.171

答：子初關滯有、次轍染無。今雖兩是病消，雙非疾起，可謂眾生處處著，斯言驗矣。若能遠離二邊、不著中道，蕭焉無寄，理自玄會。返本之道，著乎茲矣。

Answer: At first, your pass was obstructed by existence; next, your ruts were stained by non-existence. Now, although the disease of affirming both has subsided, the illness of negating both has arisen. It can be said that 'sentient beings cling at every turn'—these words are verified! If one can stay far away from the two extremes and not cling to the middle way, untrammeled and without reliance, principle naturally accords with the profound. The path of returning to the origin is made manifest here!
