二諦義 2.46

2.46

問：若爾，從來那得云緣稟二諦教生智之時，教轉名境耶？解云：此不相關，前是能化、後是所化。此凡經兩過轉，前境轉為教、後教轉為境。何者？如來二智照名為境，次說表一道則轉名教。所化緣稟此教，識教悟理生智，教轉名境。此則教諦或名境或名教也。

Question: If so, why has it always been said that when conditions accord with the teaching of the two truths and generate cognition, the teaching turns and is named the object? Explanation: These are unrelated; the former concerns the converting agent, and the latter concerns those to be converted. This undergoes two transitions in total: first, the object turns into the teaching; later, the teaching turns into the object. How so? The Tathāgata's two cognitions illuminating is named the object; next, speaking to express the One Path turns and is named the teaching. When those to be converted accord with this teaching in dependence on conditions, recognize the teaching, awaken to the principle, and generate cognition, the teaching turns and is named the object. This is why truth as teaching is named either the object or the teaching.
