初約經,明此有支虛相既盡,隨順無所有,徹到第一義。此顯不壞俗而恒真也,故云無明因緣諸行生,是隨順無所有。問:無明生行是順所有,何故乃言順無所有?答:乘前諸門次第至此,顯彼無明正生行時,則順無生入理故也。經意如此。問:順觀既爾,逆復云何?答:生既性盡,則所有、無所有俱離,故云隨順無所有盡觀說。說義同前,思取其意。

First, with regard to the sūtra: it clarifies that once the false marks of these branches of existence are exhausted, they conform to having nothing and penetrate through to the absolute truth. This reveals that without destroying the conventional, it is ever true; therefore it says that with ignorance as cause and condition formations arise, which conforms to having nothing. Question: Ignorance producing formations conforms to having something; why does it say it conforms to having nothing? Answer: Following the sequence of the preceding gates up to this point, it reveals that when that ignorance is just producing formations, it conforms to non-production and enters into the principle. Such is the intention of the sūtra. Question: If the forward contemplation is thus, what about the reverse? Answer: Since the nature of production is exhausted, both having something and having nothing are transcended; therefore it says 'the explanation of the contemplation of the exhaustion of conforming to having nothing'. The meaning of 'explanation' is the same as before; ponder and grasp its import.
