金光明經文句記 2.35

2.35

Third, from "if..." downward, the bodhisattva [is discussed], in two parts: first, reprimanding the gradual succession as constituting a violation. Practice, study, and the path—these three correspond to precepts, concentration, and wisdom. Stating that they are "gradual" means that these three all revolve according to emptiness, provisionality, and the middle. Because the three truths are vertical, moving from shallow to deep, grasping and abandoning are discussed with respect to each one. Samsara is "coming"; within emptiness is "going." Originally sinking in samsara is already called "coming"; after having gone, to come again to establish samsara constitutes two comings. Destroying existence and leaving the realm is already called "going"; abandoning the extremes to advance toward the middle is called "going again"; hence, this constitutes two goings. Are not comings and goings like these a humiliation? The truth and the contemplation are not distinct; they are free of the marks of the two graspings. Now, since they cultivate separately, taking the contemplation to objectify the truth is called taking what is not given.
