法華玄論 5.15

5.15

答：具有四句。一者方便為實相門、二實相為方便門，此二如前。三實相為實相門、四方便為方便門，如名為義門、義為名門。由方便名顯方便義，故名為義門；由方便義顯方便名，故義為名門。實相亦爾。《中論．序》云「實不名不悟，故寄中以宣之。」即其事也。

Answer: There are four propositions: first, skillful means serves as the gate to the true mark; second, the true mark serves as the gate to skillful means—these two are as stated before; third, the true mark serves as the gate to the true mark; fourth, skillful means serves as the gate to skillful means. This is like names being the gate to meaning, and meaning being the gate to names: through the name of skillful means, the meaning of skillful means is revealed, so the name is the gate to meaning; through the meaning of skillful means, the name of skillful means is revealed, so meaning is the gate to names. The true mark is also like this. The preface to the *Mūlamadhyamakakārikā* states, 'Without names the real is not awakened to; hence one lodges in the middle to proclaim it.' This is precisely that matter.
