Jingxi says: "Regarding 'Therefore at times...' and so forth, it is not merely using empty understanding to break clinging; it can also truly break the delusions of the two extremes. Not being the same as empty understanding, it says 'at times.' If one empties the two extremes, the middle way is revealed; hence it says 'empties the two extremes.'"
