金光明經文句記 3.6

3.6

Second, from "The second says" onward, relating the next master, in two parts: first, recounting; second, from "Next then" onward, Zhang'an refutes it. Because [the text] does not say "the Master" or "Tiantai," we know this is a private refutation [by Zhang'an]. Although emptiness is the middle, this is employing the middle in the causal stage to break attachments, and not yet the substance of the middle revealed at the fruitional stage. Although the Dharma is not different, the meaning of function and revelation is distinct; since the ancients were benighted about this, it is not adopted here.
