梵網經古迹記 1.60

1.60

The commentary states: In the eighth [mind], the mind of common purpose, "using the wisdom of the nature of the path to be identical with the unproduced dharma of emptiness" introduces the chapter heading. This means that the wisdom of this rank accords with the principle of emptiness. Next, to clarify the characteristics of practice, "arising without duality" refers to the suchness of the emptiness of living beings. Wisdom and practice correspond, hence it is said to be identical with that. Furthermore, the practice of the emptiness of phenomena is identical with the characteristic of suchness of the emptiness of phenomena at the ultimate origin. Mundane phenomena, because they are constantly turning, are said to "constantly arise, constantly abide, and constantly cease." Amid this transmigration, one adapts and enters into identity in activities. Although one realizes identity in the emptiness of phenomena without production, and identity in self and other without any entity, still, for the sake of benefiting beings, one enters the samādhi of common purpose.
