華嚴法界玄鏡 1.35

1.35

釋曰：此亦有三：初標。釋中先揀即離，明真空非即色相，云空不即色，正揀太即，對前會色歸空中色相非真空。後然非青黃之理必不異青黃者，明不即色之空亦非全在色外，對前亦非離相有性。二、揀亂意者，揀謂空為有，既空理非青黃，豈是有耶？對前真空不是相有。三、要由下，結。舉不異之正，結前太即之情。

The Commentary states: This also has three [parts]: first, the statement. In the explanation, it first eliminates identity and detachment, clarifying that true emptiness is not identical to the characteristics of form: saying "emptiness is not identical to form" directly eliminates excessive identity, which corresponds to "the characteristics of form are not true emptiness" in the previous contemplation of reducing form to emptiness. Afterwards, "yet the principle that is not blue and yellow must not be different from blue and yellow" clarifies that emptiness that is not identical to form is also not entirely outside of form, which corresponds to the previous "nor is there an essence detached from characteristics." Second, regarding eliminating confused thoughts: it eliminates taking emptiness as existence; since the principle of emptiness is not blue and yellow, how could it be existence? This corresponds to the previous "true emptiness is not the existence of characteristics." Third, from "It is precisely because…" downward is the conclusion. Adducing the correctness of non-difference, it concludes the previous attachment of excessive identity.
