法華義疏 2.74

2.74

To reveal that there is only the single path and no second; hence whether speaking or silent, he constantly abides in the one. Furthermore, the Buddha instructed his disciples to constantly practice two things: first, noble preaching of the Dharma; second, noble silence. 'Noble preaching of the Dharma' means emerging from the contemplation of the true aspect to preach the Dharma of the true aspect. 'Noble silence' means having finished preaching the true aspect, returning to enter the contemplation of the true aspect. Therefore, whether moving or still, speaking or silent, all accord with the true aspect, and the true aspect is the purity of the single path. Preaching the Immeasurable Meanings Sūtra above was noble preaching of the Dharma; now returning to enter this concentration is noble silence.
