大華嚴經略策 1.31

1.31

第二十四、事理相融。問：事相萬差理唯一味，如何經說事理無礙而相即耶？答：事外求理二乘偏真，照事即理菩薩大悟。色外無空全色為空，空外無色全空是色。色謂緣生之法，空謂無性之理。由緣生故，無性即色事而是真空：由無性故，從緣即空理而為色事。一體二義有事理之名，二義一體故得交徹也。謹對。

Twenty-fourth: The Interfusion of Principle and Phenomena. Question: The phenomenal marks have ten thousand differences, whereas the principle is of a single flavor. Why do the sūtras say that principle and phenomena are unhindered and mutually identical? Answer: Seeking principle outside of phenomena is the biased truth of the two vehicles; illuminating phenomena as principle is the great awakening of the bodhisattva. Outside of form there is no emptiness: form is entirely emptiness; outside of emptiness there is no form: emptiness is entirely form. Form refers to conditioned dharmas; emptiness refers to the principle of selflessness. Because they are conditionally arisen, selflessness is identical to phenomenal form and is true emptiness; because they are devoid of self-nature, according with conditions is identical to the principle of emptiness and constitutes phenomenal form. One substance with two aspects has the names of phenomena and principle; because the two aspects are of one substance, they mutually penetrate. Respectfully answered.
