金剛三昧經論 3.53

3.53

論曰：是第四說。此四句義有別有總，別則明二門義，總即顯一心法。如是一心二門之內，一切佛法無所不攝。是義云何？前之二句融俗為真，顯平等義；下之二句融真為俗，顯差別門。總而言之，真俗無二而不守一。由無二故即是一心，不守一故舉體為二，如是名為一心二門。大意如是。次釋其文。因緣所生義者，是舉一切世諦諸法。是義滅者，融俗為真，謂所生義本來寂滅故。言非生者，顯其生義是滅之由。由其生義即非生故，求其生義即不成故，是故生義即寂滅也。滅諸生滅義者，是舉真諦寂滅之法。是義生者，融真為俗，謂寂滅法從緣生起故。言非滅者，顯其寂滅是生之由。由其寂滅非寂滅故，求寂滅義不可得故，是故寂滅從緣生也。寂滅是生者，不生之生也；生義是滅者，不滅之滅也。不滅之滅故，滅即為生也；不生之生故，生即寂滅也。合而言之，生即寂滅而不守滅，滅即為生而不住生，生滅不二動寂無別，如是名為一心之法。雖實不二而不守一，舉體隨緣生動、舉體隨緣寂滅。由是道理，生是寂滅、寂滅是生，無障無礙、不一不異，是謂一偈總別之義。

The commentary states: This is the fourth part, the exposition. The meaning of these four lines has the distinct and the general: distinctly, they explain the meaning of the two gates; generally, they reveal the dharma of the one mind. Within this one mind and two gates, there is nothing among all buddhadharmas that is not subsumed. What is this meaning? The first two lines integrate the conventional into the ultimate, revealing the principle of equality; the lower two lines integrate the ultimate into the conventional, revealing the gate of distinction. Speaking generally, the ultimate and the conventional are non-dual, yet they do not stay fixed as one. Being non-dual, they are precisely the one mind; not staying fixed as one, their entire essence constitutes two. These are called the one mind and the two gates. Such is the general purport. Next, explaining the text: "The meaning of what is produced from causes and conditions" adduces all dharmas of conventional truth. "This meaning is extinct" integrates the conventional into the ultimate, meaning that what is produced is originally calm and extinct. The words "not produced" reveal the reason why its meaning of production is extinction: because its meaning of production is precisely non-production, and seeking its meaning of production cannot be achieved, therefore the meaning of production is precisely calm extinction. "Extinguishing all meanings of production and extinction" adduces the dharma of calm extinction of the ultimate truth. "This meaning is produced" integrates the ultimate into the conventional, meaning that the dharma of calm extinction arises conditionally. The words "not extinct" reveal the reason why its calm extinction is production: because its calm extinction is not calm extinction, and seeking the meaning of calm extinction is unobtainable, therefore calm extinction arises from conditions. Calm extinction being production is the production of non-production; the meaning of production being extinction is the extinction of non-extinction. Because it is the extinction of non-extinction, extinction is precisely production; because it is the production of non-production, production is precisely calm extinction. Combining them, production is precisely calm extinction, yet does not remain fixed in extinction; extinction is precisely production, yet does not abide in production. Production and extinction are non-dual; movement and calm are without distinction: this is called the dharma of the one mind. Although truly non-dual, it does not remain fixed as one; its entire essence follows conditions to produce movement, and its entire essence follows conditions to be calmly extinct. By this principle, production is calm extinction and calm extinction is production, unhindered and unobstructed, neither identical nor different: this is the general and distinct meaning of the single verse.
