9.66

It is explained: Being universally acknowledged is not based on sharing the same grasping; it is based on using conventional names for the objects of grasping without contradicting them, which is why it is called universally acknowledged. Just as worldly people speak of earth having the nature of solidity, and so forth, up to speaking of movement or the nature of a self, I also speak likewise; just as they speak of form and so forth being visible and audible, I also [speak] likewise; just as they speak of clothing, food, carts, and vehicles, up to fields, gardens, grand estates, and feelings of pleasure and pain used in the world, I also speak of them. Because such matters do not contradict sentient beings and one shares the same designation of their existence, it is called universally acknowledged. Yet the Buddhas and bodhisattvas fully understand that the nature of phenomena so spoken of is illusory and not definitively existent. Therefore a sūtra says: 'If it is said that the world exists, I also say it exists; if the world says it does not exist, I also say it does not exist; I do not dispute with things. When I speak of existence or non-existence, it is because sentient beings contradict it that they dispute with me.' Therefore, among the four realities, from the perspective of the domain known to the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, the former two realities are subsumed under the three dharmas of names, appearances, and conceptual discrimination among the five dharmas. If one takes the fundamental substance and mental images upon which worldly false grasping relies, they are also subsumed under these three dharmas.
