法華玄論 2.175

2.175

答：如前所引，是法不可示，即是實相也。又過去二萬億日月燈明佛云「諸法實相義，已為汝等說。」又云「諸法寂滅相，不可以言宣。」又云「諸法從本來，常自寂滅相。」文處甚多，非可具舉。又夫欲辨宗，須觀經題。題云妙法者，即是正法。正法者，如《華嚴》云「正法性遠離，一切語言道，一切趣非趣，皆悉寂滅相。」正法絕於名相，故乃名為妙。若四句所及，何妙之有耶？

Answer: As cited before: 'This Dharma cannot be demonstrated'—that is the true mark. Furthermore, the twenty-thousand-crore Candrasūryapradīpa Buddhas of the past said: 'The meaning of the true mark of all dharmas has already been spoken for you.' It also says: 'The quiescent and extinguished mark of all dharmas cannot be declared in words.' It also says: 'All dharmas from the very beginning are constantly and naturally marks of quiescence and extinction.' Such passages are extremely numerous and cannot be cited in full. Furthermore, if one wishes to discern the tenet, one must observe the scripture's title. The title says 'Wondrous Dharma' (Saddharma), which is the correct Dharma. As for the correct Dharma, the Avataṃsaka-sūtra says: 'The nature of the correct Dharma is far removed from the paths of all spoken words; all destinies and non-destinies are completely the marks of quiescence and extinction.' Because the correct Dharma cuts off names and marks, it is therefore called 'wondrous.' If it were reached by the four propositions, what wondrousness would there be?
