法華玄論 2.5

2.5

答：略明二義，一相待妙、二絕待妙。相待妙者，待麁說妙。絕待妙者，非麁非妙，不知何以字之，故強名為妙。

Answer: Briefly, two meanings are clarified: first, the relative sublime; second, the absolute sublime. The relative sublime means explaining the sublime in contrast to the coarse. The absolute sublime means neither coarse nor sublime; not knowing how else to designate it, one forces the name 'sublime'.
