75.14

疏「又五中各具四句」等者，第二顯成四句也。於中有二：初一重四句、後重重四句。今初，又二：先正顯、後揀非。今初也。初性有相無四者：一有，真性有故；二空，無諸相故；三亦有亦空，義門異故；四非有非空，互融奪故。二用有體無四者：一有，迷真有用故；二空，依真無體故；三亦有亦空，體用不壞故；四非有非空，無體之用故非有，即用無體故非空。三相有實無四者：一有，事相現故；二空，緣成無實故；三俱存，無性不礙緣成，緣成不礙無性故；四俱非，緣成即無性故非有，無性即緣成故非空。四生即是無死即是有四者：一真性顯故；二依他即無性故；三性相雙存故；四性相即奪故。五情有理無四者：一遍計妄情，能招生死故；二即理而求，不可得故；三要由理無方知情有，若無情有不顯理無故；四情有即理無，理無即情有故。

In the commentary, "Furthermore, among the five each possesses four propositions," etc., is the second [part], revealing and establishing the four propositions. Therein are two parts: first, a single layer of four propositions; next, multiple layers of four propositions. In the first part, there are again two: first, correctly revealing [them]; next, eliminating errors. This is the first. First, the four of the existence of nature and non-existence of characteristics: 1. existence, because the true nature exists; 2. emptiness, because it lacks all characteristics; 3. both existence and emptiness, because the doctrinal aspects differ; 4. neither existence nor emptiness, because they mutually fuse and eliminate each other. Second, the four of the existence of function and non-existence of essence: 1. existence, because deluded regarding the real there is function; 2. emptiness, because relying on the real it has no essence; 3. both existence and emptiness, because essence and function are not destroyed; 4. neither existence nor emptiness, because being a function without essence it is not existent, and being an essence-less function it is not empty. Third, the four of the existence of characteristics and non-existence of reality: 1. existence, because phenomenal characteristics appear; 2. emptiness, because being produced by conditions it lacks reality; 3. both preserved, because the lack of intrinsic nature does not obstruct production by conditions, and production by conditions does not obstruct the lack of intrinsic nature; 4. both negated, because production by conditions is itself the lack of intrinsic nature, hence not existent, and the lack of intrinsic nature is itself production by conditions, hence not empty. Fourth, the four of life being non-existence and death being existence: 1. because the true nature is revealed; 2. because the other-dependent is precisely without intrinsic nature; 3. because nature and characteristics are both preserved; 4. because nature and characteristics mutually eliminate each other. Fifth, the four of existence in sentiment and non-existence in principle: 1. because the false sentiment of conceptualization can engender saṃsāra; 2. because seeking it in terms of principle, it cannot be found; 3. because only by principle being non-existent does one know that sentiment exists, and if sentiment did not exist, principle being non-existent would not be revealed; 4. because existence in sentiment is itself non-existence in principle, and non-existence in principle is itself existence in sentiment.
