大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 64.24

64.24

疏「今此地中破相趣寂名空平等」者，豈唯無性，相亦不存。故經文云「無相無體故平等」，非唯有相，空相亦遣，方為真空平等理也。義當順忍，舉後攝前，義該四五。

On the commentary passage "Now on this bhūmi, refuting characteristics to tend toward quiescence is called the equality of emptiness": how could it be that only intrinsic nature is absent? Characteristics also do not remain. Hence the sūtra text says, "Being without characteristics and without essence, they are therefore equal." Not only are characteristics of existence refuted, but characteristics of emptiness are also relinquished; only then is it the principle of the equality of true emptiness. The meaning corresponds to conforming kṣānti; raising the latter subsumes the former, so the meaning covers the fourth and fifth [bhūmis].
