註華嚴法界觀門 1.93

1.93

Although the two words 'śūnyatā' and 'rūpa' are used, the original intention is solely to return to emptiness. Because rūpa is an empty name and empty characteristic, lacking the slightest substance, those who cultivate this contemplation direct their intention here. In the text, when rūpa is placed first it says 'emptiness manifests'; when emptiness is placed first it does not say 'rūpa manifests', but again says 'emptiness is not concealed'. Therefore, it is only called the contemplation of true emptiness, and is not called the contemplation of true emptiness and illusory rūpa.
