二諦義 2.5

2.5

問：教諦可是教，於諦若為亦是教？既有於教之殊，云何併是教耶？解云：二於諦名，亦是為眾生故說。為眾生說有，於凡是世諦；為眾生說空，於聖人是真諦。為眾生說空有，是二於諦，故二於諦亦是教也。

Question: The truth as teaching may well be teaching; how is the truth from perspective also teaching? Since there is the distinction between perspective and teaching, how can both together be teaching? Explanation: The names of the two truths from perspective are also spoken for the sake of sentient beings. Speaking of existence for sentient beings is conventional truth from the perspective of ordinary beings; speaking of emptiness for sentient beings is ultimate truth from the perspective of noble ones. Speaking of emptiness and existence for sentient beings constitutes the two truths from perspective; therefore the two truths from perspective are also teaching.
