問曰:維摩闡玄之極,亦使默外猶有自覺相應境界。何故不論?釋言:為化極於言默,言默之外不復可陳。不可陳處從來未辨,豈獨今哉?

Question: Vimalakīrti's elucidation of the profound reaches the ultimate, yet does it also cause there to remain, beyond silence, a sphere corresponding to personal awakening? Why is it not discussed? Explanation: For the sake of transforming [beings], the ultimate limit lies in speech and silence; beyond speech and silence, nothing further can be stated. A place that cannot be stated has never been elucidated from the beginning—how could it be only now?
