6.236

[Seng]zhao says: Having spoken of length previously and being pressed on the reality afterward, he did not know how to answer. [Dao]sheng says: Having said that liberation has no duration, its trace is real non-existence. If liberation takes non-existence as real, the statement also has real existence. Existence and non-existence conflict with each other; how could liberation be expressed in words? Therefore, he resorted to this silence to make clear that liberation is not real non-existence. Since liberation is not real non-existence, only then can dwelling and words necessarily be identified with it.
