華嚴發菩提心章 1.60

1.60

"With respect to dharmas, the four propositions are: if form is identical to emptiness, there are again two faults: first, the fault of destroying conventional truth, because if forms such as blue and yellow are identical to true emptiness, there would be no separate conventional truth; second, the fault of destroying ultimate truth, since taking characteristics such as blue and yellow to be true emptiness means there would be no separate true emptiness. If emptiness is identical to form, there are also two faults: first, the fault of destroying ultimate truth, because if emptiness is blue, yellow, and so forth, there would be no true emptiness; second, the fault of destroying conventional truth, because taking true emptiness to be form means there would be no deluded form.
