3.134

深中之甚故云甚深。然如來妙觀未曾愚智,為對二乘之愚強歎為智;亦非深淺量與無量,為對二乘之流不能測量故云無量。故《華嚴》云「法界非有量亦復非無量,牟尼悉超越有量及無量」也。

It is the extreme among the profound, hence it says "extremely profound." Yet the Tathāgata's wondrous contemplation has never been ignorance or wisdom; for the sake of the ignorance of the two vehicles, it is forcefully praised as wisdom. Nor is it deep or shallow, measurable or measureless; for the sake of the followers of the two vehicles who cannot fathom it, it is said to be measureless. Thus the Avataṃsaka Sūtra says: "The realm of phenomena is neither measurable nor measureless; the Sage entirely transcends both the measurable and the measureless."
