答：如權智能通實智，實智為所通。從所通為名，故言其智慧門，智慧即是實智、門即是權智，詺此權智為實智家門。例如三解脫門，從所通為名，解脫是所通涅槃之果，三空能通行人得涅槃，故名解脫門也。又世人言佛門人門等，皆從所通為門也。當體得名者，方便當體虛通，故名為門。實相亦爾。如言竹門板門也，當門體是竹板，故以當體得名也。

> Answer: Just as provisional wisdom can lead into real wisdom, real wisdom is that which is penetrated into. Named from that which is penetrated, it is said that "the gate of their wisdom": wisdom is real wisdom, and gate is provisional wisdom; this provisional wisdom is termed the gate to the household of real wisdom. For example, the three gates of liberation are named from that which is penetrated: liberation is the fruit of nirvāṇa that is penetrated; the three emptinesses can lead practitioners through to attaining nirvāṇa, hence they are called gates of liberation. Furthermore, when worldly people say "gate of the Buddha", "gate of humans", and so forth, these are all gates \[named\] from that which is penetrated. As for deriving the name based on intrinsic essence: skillful means in its intrinsic essence is open and penetrating; hence it is called a gate. The true mark is also like this. It is like saying "bamboo gate" or "plank gate": the very substance of the gate is bamboo or planks, so it derives its name based on its intrinsic essence.
