大般涅槃經集解 48.20

48.20

案僧亮曰：第二譬。得五陰空、實法空，見陰是實，能劫善則，譬栴陀羅。智以斷惑，譬刀。而害事交至，譬拔也。出空見有，譬迴顧。已見假空，解實則易，譬疾去也。寶亮曰：譬觀五陰作實法空觀也。

Sengliang comments: The second metaphor. Attaining the emptiness of the five aggregates is the emptiness of real dharmas. Seeing that the aggregates are real and capable of plundering wholesome principles is symbolized by the caṇḍālas. Wisdom severing afflictions is symbolized by the sword. Harmful matters arriving together is symbolized by unsheathing [the sword]. Emerging from emptiness to see existence is symbolized by looking back. Having already seen nominal emptiness, understanding reality is easy; this is symbolized by departing quickly. Baoliang comments: It symbolizes contemplating the five aggregates to perform the contemplation of the emptiness of real dharmas.
