大般涅槃經義記 4.30

4.30

From here below, the three pairs proceed in reference to the duality of characteristic and reality in the third section above to reveal non-duality. However, while the text above fully contains five phrases, here we proceed for now in reference to the first three phrases to reveal non-duality; the rest can be known by analogy. "If one says one should cultivate all suffering" cites the first phrase above. "Ordinary persons consider them two": this still calls those of the two vehicles ordinary persons; hearing previously that there is the nature of bliss within suffering, people of the two vehicles claim they are completely distinct entities, and thus it is said that they consider them two. "The wise thoroughly understand that their nature is non-dual" relies on the wise to manifest the principle: the bodhisattva, the wise one, knows that reality gives rise to characteristics, and that characteristics are themselves reality, which is called thoroughly understanding non-duality. "Non-duality is reality" takes this up to conclude it.
