首楞嚴義疏注經 3.96

3.96

This refutes the object producing the faculty. The first two sentences take up [the view]; from 'when observing space' downward refutes it. This is also refuted by opposing form and space; this refutes form. Since form produces the faculty, at the time of observing space form has already dissolved and ceased; from what could the faculty be produced to comprehend space? Furthermore, form can reveal space; at the time of seeing space form has already dissolved and ceased; from what could space be revealed? The single word 'form' below implicitly contains the meaning that space can produce seeing, which should be known by analogy with form. Refuting singly while concluding doubly exhaustively realizes the translator's intent.
