18.28

基云：大義曰：或三重俗諦，或四重俗諦。或四重俗諦者，此是二諦門，謂俗諦有四勝義，亦爾，世俗中，一、是假名無實諦；二、隨事差別諦；三、證得安立諦；四、假名無作諦。謂假安立名勝義諦，而無法體，法體準可說故。此文但有俗諦四重無勝義諦，前立三重者有法擬宜故，後立四者假名安立故，西方有立四重勝義，亦爾相對。一、世俗勝義諦，即體是前道理世俗，是勝世俗世俗諦，故名勝義，立法差別因果依他性等，故名世俗；二、道理勝義諦，即體是前證得世俗，有得果斷惑義故名道理，過前道理世俗故名勝義，十地行位等是；三、證得勝義，即體是前世俗勝義，安立為名名勝義，可有證得義名證得，過前證得世俗故名勝義；四、是勝義勝義，即是非安立諦真如體，是不可安立法故名勝義，過前勝義世俗勝義，故名勝義。

Ji says: The Great Master says: There are either three tiers of conventional truth, or four tiers of conventional truth. As for the four tiers of conventional truth, this is the doctrine of the two truths; conventional truth has four, and ultimate truth is likewise. Among the conventional: 1. truth that is nominal without real substance; 2. truth differentiated according to phenomena; 3. conventional truth established through realization; 4. nominal unconditioned truth. That is, it is conventionally designated by the name 'ultimate truth', yet lacks a substantial entity, for the substantial entity is according to what can be expressed. This text only contains the four tiers of conventional truth and no ultimate truth. Those who previously established three tiers did so because there was an entity to be posited; those who subsequently established four did so because of conventional designation. In the Western regions, some also establish four tiers of ultimate truth, which correspond in like manner: 1. worldly ultimate truth—its essence is the aforementioned conventional truth of principle; being superior to worldly conventional truth, it is called ultimate, but because it establishes differences among dharmas, cause and effect, paratantra-nature, and so on, it is called conventional; 2. ultimate truth of principle—its essence is the aforementioned conventional truth of realization; having the meaning of attaining the fruit and severing defilements, it is called principle; because it surpasses the aforementioned conventional truth of principle, it is called ultimate; the practices and stages of the ten grounds are this; 3. ultimate truth of realization—its essence is the aforementioned worldly ultimate; being conventionally established as a name, it is called ultimate; admitting the meaning of realization, it is called realization; because it surpasses the aforementioned conventional truth of realization, it is called ultimate; 4. ultimate truth of the ultimate—this is the unestablished truth, the essence of tathatā; being a dharma that cannot be conceptually established, it is called ultimate; because it surpasses the aforementioned ultimate truths, it is called ultimate.
