法華玄論 2.173

2.173

Answer: The sūtra says: 'This Dharma cannot be demonstrated; the characteristics of verbal expression are quiescent and extinguished.' Now I shall demonstrate what cannot be demonstrated; you should hear what has nothing to be heard. This scripture takes the correct Dharma of the true mark as its essential tenet. Clarifying the cause and discerning the fruit, opening the provisional and revealing the real—all these are provisional names and marks spoken within that which has no name or mark, serving as its function.
