疏「盡即有為」者，《淨名》第三香積世界諸菩薩欲還本土，以求少法當念如來。佛告諸菩薩：「有盡無盡法門，汝等當學。何謂有盡？謂有為法。何謂無盡？謂無為法。如菩薩者，不盡有為、不住無為。何謂不盡有為？謂不離大慈、不捨大悲等。何謂不住無為？謂修學空不以空為證，修學無相無作不以無相無作為證。」

> As for the commentary's phrase “exhaustion is the conditioned,” in Chapter 3 of the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa, when the bodhisattvas of the Gandhahasti (Fragrance-Accumulating) world wished to return to their native land and sought a brief teaching with which to keep the Tathāgata in mind, the Buddha told the bodhisattvas: “There is a Dharma gateway of exhaustion and inexhaustibility that you should study. What is meant by exhaustion? It refers to conditioned dharmas. What is meant by inexhaustibility? It refers to unconditioned dharmas. A bodhisattva does not exhaust the conditioned and does not abide in the unconditioned. What is meant by not exhausting the conditioned? It means not departing from great loving-kindness, not forsaking great compassion, and so forth. What is meant by not abiding in the unconditioned? It means cultivating and studying emptiness without taking emptiness as realization, and cultivating and studying signlessness and wishlessness without taking signlessness and wishlessness as realization.”
