18.27

案僧亮曰:先非昔所說者,自知今之為是也。昔滅有二種:一性滅,謂空無我也;二滅身智,而如來者非空無我,身智不滅,作滅想壞如來也。敬遺述僧宗曰:生死是空,佛果不空。若謂二處皆空,於果為謬,故言多也。逆外道修空,該一切法;今分別空相,正反於邪,故言逆也。慧朗述僧宗曰:亦有五階,此第一階舉惑以明失也。

Sengliang notes: By first rejecting what was taught formerly, one naturally knows that what is taught today is correct. Formerly, cessation was of two kinds: first, cessation of nature, meaning emptiness and non-self; second, the cessation of body and wisdom. Yet the Tathāgata is neither empty nor non-self, and body and wisdom are not extinguished; to conceive of cessation destroys the Tathāgata. Jingyi relates Sengzong's words: Birth-and-death is empty, but the Buddha-fruit is not empty. If one says that both are empty, this is an error regarding the fruit, which is why it says 'extensively'. Opposing non-Buddhists who cultivate emptiness covers all phenomena; now, distinguishing the characteristics of emptiness directly reverses heterodoxy, which is why it says 'opposes'. Huilang relates Sengzong's words: There are also five stages; this first stage adduces delusion to clarify the loss.
