2.30

Now next we explain one meaning and one name, and one meaning and immeasurable names. Regarding 'one meaning and one name': taking the correct Way as the one meaning, the ultimate and the conventional are the one name. However, the correct Way has never had a name; for the sake of the one Way, one name is established, and one name is also established to reveal the one Way. Why? Since one name is established for the sake of the one Way, how could the one name not reveal the one Way? Therefore, it is called 'one meaning and one name'. Regarding 'one meaning and immeasurable names': again, the one Way is taken as the one meaning. As for 'immeasurable names', immeasurable names are established to reveal the one Way, and immeasurable names are established for the sake of revealing the one Way. Since immeasurable names are established for the sake of the one Way, how could the immeasurable names not reveal the one Way? Therefore, it is called 'one meaning and immeasurable names'.
