三、明不堪之事，二：初、分科。二、隨釋五：初、取鉢盛飯。荊溪云：若表理者者，表義眾多，且出一轍為訶之式。以妙有飯點但空鉢，示令知空即不空也。若爾，其時已是求於不空得不空耶？答：此即求也，此即得也。何者？心相體信入出無難，因聞大教即當其機，亦名冥求亦名冥得。然其冥益表尚存空，是故於舍心仍住小。

> Third, explaining the matter of not being up to the task has two \[parts\]: first, dividing the sections; second, commenting on them accordingly, in five \[parts\]: first, taking the bowl and filling it with food. Jingxi says, 'If it expresses principle: what it expresses has many meanings; let us temporarily provide one approach as the formula of reproach. Using the rice of subtle existence to fill the bowl of mere emptiness shows and causes him to know that emptiness is precisely non-emptiness. If so, was he at that time already seeking non-emptiness and attaining non-emptiness? Answer: This is indeed seeking, this is indeed attaining. Why? The mental characteristics and mutual trust entered and exited without difficulty; because of hearing the great teaching, it precisely matched his capacity. It is also called covert seeking and covert attainment. However, his covert benefit showed that he still retained emptiness; therefore, at the house, his mind still abided in the small.'
