華嚴法界玄鏡 2.25

2.25

The commentary says: Below is the fifth pair, mutual negation, which is the meaning of dual preservation; if both are not preserved, there would be nothing to mutually establish, mutually identify, conceal or annul each other, and so forth. This gate means that the dharmakāya, which adapts to conditions and is not existent, is constantly manifested without being different from phenomena. The subsequent gate means that sentient beings, who are quiescently extinguished and not non-existent, are constantly established without being different from the true. That is, in this gate, principle viewed from phenomena has three pairs: first, it is true; second, it is real; third, it is that which is relied upon. This brings to light that the tenth gate is false, is unreal, and is that which relies.
