註華嚴經題法界觀門頌 2.29

2.29

混然寂照寒宵永，明暗圓融未兆前。義曰：泯謂遮泯，泯前八門情執。絕謂止絕，絕九門趣行之解也。然則前門有空可色、有色可空；今此門中二俱不立、情執兩亡，令心絕待都無所寄。以此為門，出生觀智矣。然初句當《般若心經》中「色即是空」，二句當「空即是色」，三句當「色不異空空不異色」，此句「當是諸法空相至無智亦無得」，顯法體離一切相，與此真空理同，齊大乘始教。

Merged in quiescence and illumination, the cold night is long; / Light and dark interfuse perfectly before any omen appears.
The meaning is: 'Cessation' means blocking and ceasing, ceasing the emotional attachments of the previous eight gates. 'Total' means stopping and ending, ending the understanding that proceeds to practice in the nine gates. In the previous gates, there was emptiness that could be form and form that could be emptiness; now in this gate, neither is established, both emotional attachments perish, causing the mind to be beyond duality, with nowhere to rely. Using this as a gate, contemplative wisdom is born. The first phrase corresponds to 'form is emptiness' in the Prajñāpāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra; the second phrase corresponds to 'emptiness is form'; the third phrase corresponds to 'form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form'; this phrase corresponds to 'the empty characteristics of all dharmas up to no wisdom and no attainment,' revealing that the substance of dharmas is free from all characteristics, identical with this principle of true emptiness, equal to the initial teaching of the Great Vehicle.
