大般涅槃經集解 32.20

32.20

Sengliang notes: "Is the meaning one and the names different, or are both names and meanings different?" Sengzong says: "Above, the meaning of the four truths was narrow; now, when the two truths are explained, their principle is broad—both being the cognitive objects of wisdom. The reason the four truths are called narrow is that they are distinctions made into four within the path of conventional truth, whereas the ultimate truth now clears away the preceding four. Moreover, space and cessation not through deliberation are not subsumed within the four truths, yet when subsumed by the two truths, they fall under the conventional truth." Zhixiu says: "About to clarify the two truths, one question and two dilemmas are first posited. This is the first question on the essential nature and marks of the two truths."
