維摩經玄疏 2.40

2.40

Answer: Although the previous contemplation illuminates the two truths, its refutation and application are unequal. The next contemplation also illuminates the two truths, and its refutation and application are equal; yet since it does not perceive the middle way, it is merely equality at different times. As for the third contemplation, it attains the vision of the middle way and simultaneously illuminates the two truths; this is equality at one and the same time.
