大般涅槃經集解 7.68

7.68

案道生曰：言旨既現，不復渾跡，珠之力也。僧亮曰：理不可掩，名教自分，伊字之譬是也，故曰澄清。僧宗曰：珠譬解珠，是映澈之物，水為之清。思修勝慧，是理照之知，探教不渾也。寶亮曰：既有常信，決知偏教理非是實。理雖非實，未曾相亂，但資向常之解，故言澄清也。智秀曰：緣有此旨，所以能感今日所說，顯奠昔教亦是詮極，豈非珠力水澄清耶？道慧所撰曰：惑情亂教，喻之水濁。若果無常，則其迷可久。理非偏教，故妄情可息，息則名教顯然，喻之水清。

Daosheng states: The intent of the words having appeared, it no longer confuses traces; this is the power of the pearl. Sengliang states: Principle cannot be covered; names and teachings naturally distinguish themselves, like the metaphor of the letter *i*; hence it is said to become clear and pure. Sengzong states: The pearl illustrates the pearl of understanding, which is a transparent object; the water becomes clear because of it. The superior wisdom of contemplation and cultivation is the knowledge that illuminates principle; exploring the teaching, it is not turbid. Baoliang states: Having faith in permanence, they definitely know that the principle of the one-sided teaching is not real. Although the principle is not real, they never confound each other, but merely assist the understanding directed toward permanence; hence it is said to become clear and pure. Zhixiu states: Because this intent exists, it is able to evoke what is taught today, establishing that the past teaching was also an expression of the ultimate; how could this not be the power of the pearl making the water clear and pure? In what Daohui compiled, it says: Deluded feelings confuse the teaching, which is compared to turbid water. If it were truly impermanent, their delusion could endure. Since principle is not a one-sided teaching, erroneous feelings can be quelled; once quelled, names and teachings are manifest, which is compared to clear water.
