華嚴法界玄鏡 1.24

1.24

觀曰：二、色不即空，以即空故。何以故？以青黃之相非是真空之理，故云不即空。然青黃無體，莫不皆空，故云即空。良以青黃無體之空非即青黃，故云不即空也。

The Contemplation states: "Second: Form is not identical to emptiness, because it is identical to emptiness. Why is this? Because the characteristics of blue and yellow are not the principle of true emptiness; therefore it is said that it is not identical to emptiness. Yet, blue and yellow have no essence; there are none that are not empty; therefore it is said that it is identical to emptiness. Truly because the emptiness of blue and yellow being without essence is not identical to blue and yellow, it is said that it is not identical to emptiness."
