肇曰:明越三光,誰謂之闇?闇踰冥室,誰謂之明?然則在闇而闇、在明而明,能闇能明者,豈明闇之所能?故曰無闇無明也。生曰:明不在迹為晦矣,然理不得在耳,非為晦也。迹反有明為明矣,然是彼取得可非為之明也。
[Seng]zhao says: Its brightness surpasses the three luminaries—who could call it dark? Its darkness exceeds a dark room—who could call it bright? Thus, being dark in darkness and bright in brightness, can that which is able to be dark and able to be bright be the doing of brightness and darkness? Therefore it is said to be neither dark nor bright. [Dao]sheng says: When brightness is not in the traces, it is dark; yet the principle cannot reside [there], so it is not dark. When the traces conversely possess brightness, it is bright; yet because that is grasped by others, it cannot be considered brightness.
