3.254

此謂會權歸實也。而諸經有不說空無生者,以眾生悕望不一,故如來隨眾生心,作種種異說,而實在乎心悟,不在文言。譬如群鹿為渴所逼,見春時焰而作水想,迷亂馳趣,而彼陽焰實非是水。

This refers to bringing the provisional back to the real. That some sūtras do not speak of emptiness and non-arising is because sentient beings' aspirations are not uniform; hence the Tathāgata, in accord with the minds of sentient beings, makes various differing explanations, yet the reality lies in mental awakening, not in words and texts. For example, a herd of deer pressed by thirst sees a spring mirage and conceives the notion of water, racing toward it in confusion; yet that sun-mirage is truly not water.
