大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 7.46

7.46

From the commentary's "In the subsequent period" downward is the teaching of the third period. "Arising from conditions is precisely emptiness": arising from conditions is precisely the dependent [nature], and the dependent is precisely empty, without preserving the dependent while emptying the imagined. "Equal and of a single flavor": emptiness and existence are of a single flavor; it is not that existence is spoken of outside of emptiness, nor that emptiness is spoken of outside of existence. Because emptiness and existence are identical, there is no different flavor; seeing emptiness is seeing existence, and seeing existence is seeing emptiness. Since the two essences of emptiness and existence are identical, why should one partially retain the dependent and empty only the imagined?
