維摩義記 3.8

3.8

問曰：空相云何是病？於空樂著，不能隨有起諸行故。又妄分別，障於平等如實智故。是義云何？如上文說「寂滅是菩提，滅諸相故。」此智是相，所以是過。「不觀是菩提，離諸緣故。」此智是緣，所以是過。「不行是菩提，無憶念故。」此智憶念，所以是過。「斷是菩提，斷諸見故。」此智是見，所以是過。「離是菩提，離妄想故。」此智妄想，所以是過。如是一切，空病亦空，破後同前。

Question: How is the mark of emptiness an illness? [Answer:] Because one takes pleasure in and clings to emptiness, being unable to initiate practices in accord with existence. Furthermore, because deluded conceptualization obstructs equal, real wisdom. What does this mean? As the text above states: "Quiescence is bodhi, because it extinguishes all marks." This wisdom is a mark, so it is a fault. "Non-contemplation is bodhi, because it is separated from all conditions." This wisdom is a condition, so it is a fault. "Non-practice is bodhi, because it is free of recollective thought." This wisdom is recollective thought, so it is a fault. "Severance is bodhi, because it severs all views." This wisdom is a view, so it is a fault. "Separation is bodhi, because it is separated from deluded conceptualization." This wisdom is deluded conceptualization, so it is a fault. Everything being like this, the illness of emptiness is also empty; breaking it afterward is the same as before.
