註華嚴經題法界觀門頌 1.204

1.204

依他境寂，遍計執而似有。古德云：「妄計因成執，迷繩謂是蛇。」鏡裏元無影，影虛顯鏡明。水因有月方知淨，天為無雲始見高。此頌真空中無實色也。幻色無體，以顯真空也。

The paratantra objective realm is calm; through parikalpita attachment it appears as existent. An ancient worthy said: 'False calculation becomes attachment; confusing a rope, one calls it a snake.' In a mirror there are originally no reflections; reflections being unreal reveals the clarity of the mirror. Water is known to be pure only because of the moon; the sky is seen to be high only because it is free of clouds. This gāthā illustrates that within true emptiness there is no substantial form. Illusory form has no entity, thereby revealing true emptiness.
