維摩經略疏垂裕記 1.183

1.183

二、「但佛」下，示大小融通。「不出半滿」者，半字滿字，俗典之名，如來以此喻大小乘，如《涅槃經》說。「枯榮中間」者，佛於四枯四榮樹間而入涅槃，正表涅槃佛性非半非滿、雙照半滿，即照而遮、即遮而照，故大小枯榮悉涅槃之用，即用是體中間見性。

Second, from "Only the Buddha" down, showing the integration of Great and Small. Regarding "does not go beyond the partial and the complete": the "half-letter" and the "full-letter" are names from secular texts; the Tathāgata used them to illustrate the Small and Great Vehicles, as explained in the Nirvāṇa Sūtra. Regarding "between the withered and the flourishing": the Buddha entered nirvāṇa between the four withered and four flourishing trees, which precisely signifies that nirvāṇa and Buddha-nature are neither partial nor complete, while simultaneously illuminating both partial and complete, illuminating while negating and negating while illuminating. Thus, the Great and Small, the withered and the flourishing, are all the function of nirvāṇa; the function is identical to the essence, and in between one sees the nature.
