肇論疏 1.19

1.19

第二、遣相也。語本絕言非心行處者，言本則是絕言之處，故非心所能行也。然不遷當俗俗則不生者，道不遷則是不生也。不真為真真但名說者，道不真為真，但是假名說耳。若能放曠蕩然崇茲一道者，指前〈宗本論〉也。蕩，大也，謂寬曠無所拘礙也。一道，語出《涅槃經》。彼第十二卷云：實諦者，一道清淨，無有二也。清耳虛襟無言二諦者，指前〈不遷〉、〈不真〉二論也。清耳，謂靜聽也。虛襟，忘懷也。無言，謂得意也。二諦，謂真俗也。斯則靜照之巧著故般若無知者，著，顯也。能如此靜照，即是般若無知義也。無名之德興而涅槃不稱者，興，起也，若能靜照知法不可名，即是涅槃無名之義也。

Second, dispelling characteristics. 'Language, in its origin, cuts off speech and is not the sphere of mental activity': In speaking of the origin, it is the place where words are cut off, and hence it is not that in which the mind can operate. 'Yet unmoving corresponds to the conventional, and the conventional is unarisen': Saying that it is unmoving means that it is unarisen. 'Non-real constitutes the absolute, and the absolute is merely spoken of nominally': Saying that the non-real is the absolute means that it is merely spoken of as a provisional designation. 'If one can be free and untrammeled, broad and unhindered, revering this Single Path': This refers to the earlier Zongben lun. 'Dang' means vast, indicating being broad and unconstrained. 'Single Path' is an expression from the Nirvāṇa Sūtra. Its twelfth fascicle says: 'The real truth is the pure Single Path, without duality.' 'Purifying the ears and emptying the breast, speechlessly [understanding] the two truths': This refers to the earlier two treatises, Wu buqian lun and Buzhenkong lun. 'Purifying the ears' means listening in tranquility. 'Emptying the breast' means forgetting preoccupations. 'Speechlessly' means grasping the meaning. 'The two truths' means the absolute and the conventional. 'Here the skill of tranquil illumination is made manifest, and thus prajñā is non-knowing': 'Zhuo' means manifest. Being able to illuminate tranquilly in this way is precisely the meaning of prajñā being non-knowing. 'The virtue of being nameless arises, and nirvāṇa cannot be designated': 'Xing' means to arise. If one can tranquilly illuminate and know that dharmas cannot be named, this is precisely the meaning of nirvāṇa being nameless.
