華嚴經義海百門 1.101

1.101

然上諸義，體雖空淨，資行願以嚴真；性縱包含，依智慧而開顯。是故體稱本有，行約修生，生即不生，還同本體，體亦非體，復等修生。何曾體而礙生、生而失體？得意亡言，千里跬步，豈與夫懵道之子同年而語哉！

Although the essence of the above meanings is empty and pure, it relies on practices and vows to adorn the real; though its nature encompasses [all], it opens and manifests in dependence upon wisdom. Therefore, its essence is called fundamentally existent, while its practice is described as arising from cultivation. Arising is itself non-arising, returning to identity with the fundamental essence; the essence is also not an essence, again equal to what arises from cultivation. How could essence ever obstruct arising, or arising lose essence? Grasping the meaning and forgetting words, a thousand li is but half a step; how could this be spoken of in the same breath with those who are ignorant of the Path!
