二諦義 2.13

Another question: How is the teaching truth different? Explanation: To extract it tentatively: I have three kinds of two truths. The two truths you clarify are the first-stage two truths of my school. Provisional existence of the three designations is conventional truth, and the four eliminations are ultimate truth; these two truths are the first-stage two truths of our school. It is further asked: What do your teachings of the two truths express? They say: 'The two truths in turn express two principles.' If so, the two in turn express two, like a finger in turn pointing at a finger. Moreover, they only have the two and have no non-duality; thus they only have teaching and have no principle, and without principle there is no teaching. In our school, having principle means having teaching, being complete with principle and teaching.
