法華玄論 4.161

4.161

答：二照兩巧更無別體，雖照而巧故名方便，雖巧而照目之為實。如《釋論》第百卷云「譬如金為妙物，物不離金、金不離物。」但妙物義如方便，金義如實慧也。

Answer: The two illuminations and the two skillful [functions] have no separate substance. Although illuminating, it is skillful; therefore it is named skillful means. Although skillful, it illuminates; thus it is designated real. As the hundredth fascicle of the Expository Treatise says, "For example, gold is made into fine objects: the objects are not apart from the gold, and the gold is not apart from the objects." It is just that the meaning of the fine objects is like skillful means, and the meaning of the gold is like real wisdom.
