華嚴法界玄鏡 1.13

1.13

釋曰：此列三名。真空則理法界；二如本名；三則事事無礙法界。言真空者，非斷滅空、非離色空，即有明空，亦無空相，故名真空，如文具之。二、理事無礙者，理無形相，全在相中，互奪存亡，故云無礙，亦如文具。三、周遍含容者，事本相礙，大小等殊；理本包遍，如空無礙。以理融事，全事如理，乃至塵毛皆具包遍，此二相望，成於十門，亦如下說。然事法名界，界則分義，無盡差別之分齊故。理法名界，界即性義，無盡事法同一性故。無礙法界具性分義，不壞事理而無礙故。第四法界亦具二義，性融於事，一一事法不壞其相，如性融通重重無盡故。

The Commentary says: This lists the three names. True emptiness is the dharmadhātu of principle; the second is as its original name; the third is the dharmadhātu of the non-obstruction of phenomenon and phenomenon. As for "true emptiness," it is not annihilationist emptiness, nor is it emptiness detached from form; it clarifies emptiness right within existence, and is also without the characteristic of emptiness—hence it is called true emptiness, as fully detailed in the text. Second, regarding "the non-obstruction of principle and phenomena," principle has no physical characteristic, but exists entirely within characteristics; mutually eclipsing yet coexisting, it is therefore called non-obstructed, also as fully detailed in the text. Third, regarding "all-pervading and total inclusion," phenomena originally obstruct one another, differing as large and small; principle originally encompasses and pervades, unobstructed like space. Integrating phenomena by principle, phenomena are entirely like principle, even to the point that a dust particle or hair tip completely encompasses and pervades; these two viewed together constitute the ten gates, also as explained below. Now, phenomenal dharmas are called dhātu (jie): "dhātu" means division, because they are the boundaries of inexhaustible distinctions. Principle dharmas are called dhātu: "dhātu" means nature, because inexhaustible phenomenal dharmas share one identical nature. The unobstructed dharmadhātu possesses both meanings of nature and division, because it does not destroy principle and phenomena yet is unobstructed. The fourth dharmadhātu also possesses both meanings, because nature integrates into phenomena, and each phenomenal dharma does not destroy its characteristic, yet like nature is integrated and thoroughly unobstructed, multi-layered and inexhaustible.
