1.38

論曰:夫有無相生、高下相傾,有有故有無,無有故無無,因二故不二,若無二則亦無不二。故經云:不著不二法,以無一二故。斯則非語非默、不俗不真,絕觀絕緣,何二不二?

The treatise says: Existence and nonexistence give birth to each other; the high and the low overturn each other. Because there is existence, there is nonexistence; because there is no existence, there is no nonexistence. Dependent on duality, there is nonduality; if there is no duality, then there is also no nonduality. Therefore a sūtra says: 'Do not cling to the dharma of nonduality, because there is neither one nor two.' This, then, is neither speech nor silence, neither conventional nor ultimate, putting an end to contemplation and conditions—what duality or nonduality could there be?
