大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 36.52

36.52

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Furthermore, above, emptiness was used to dispel existence," and so forth: this provides another separate explanation that does not divide stopping and contemplation, wherein the four verses follow in sequence to collectively dispel afflictions. Thus, among the four verses, the first two lines use emptiness to dispel existence; the next two lines use conventionality to dispel emptiness; the next two lines use suchness as non-arising and non-ceasing to dispel both emptiness and conventionality; the next two lines provisionally conclude with the benefit of contemplation. The third verse then dispels the double negation.
