五、問空當於何求,二:初、問。二、答,二:初、約喻總釋。荊溪云:今眾生未悟至常寂之土者,文中乃以悟未悟為言者,且以因果相望易見耳。若未入圓不名悟,故以未入圓非善行故,故亦應云圓與三教所明不同。亦可得云即與不即。分別之盛豈過諸見,諸見即是,何以別求?

Fifth, regarding the question of where emptiness should be sought, there are two parts. First is the question. Second is the answer, which has two parts: first, a general explanation in terms of a simile. Jingxi says: "Regarding 'now sentient beings have not awakened to the land of eternal quiescence': the phrasing in the text speaks in terms of awakened and unawakened merely because viewing cause and effect against each other makes it easy to see. If one has not entered the perfect [teaching], it is not called awakening, because having not entered the perfect teaching, it is not a wholesome practice; therefore one should also say that the perfect teaching differs from what is clarified in the three teachings. One may also say 'identical' and 'not identical.' How could the flourishing of differentiation exceed the various views? The various views are precisely it; why seek elsewhere?"
