大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 69.18

69.18

The meaning of the three Buddha-natures will be further clarified in the tenth ground; its general import can be known. Below "Furthermore, these four...", it progressively brings them together. That is to say: how does one know there is no original reality? Because new perfuming has no completion. How does one know there is no completion? Because the two characteristics cannot be obtained. How does one know they cannot be obtained? Because bodhi and nirvāṇa are also detached from characteristics.
