2.65

體空全遍人皆委,法別有體聖難容。此頌緣生事法性空,人易信矣。法別有體實住,聖難任持。何則?聖人證一切法空而成果海,豈別有一法不空者?故古德云:「若有一法,毘盧墮在凡夫矣。」有作性難任者,恐非智者。詳之。

That substance is empty and entirely pervasive, all people know; / That phenomena have separate substances, the sages find hard to tolerate. This verse praises that conditioned phenomena are empty of self-nature, which people easily believe. If phenomena had separate substances and truly abided, the sages would find it hard to maintain. Why is this? The sage realizes the emptiness of all phenomena to attain the ocean of fruition; could there be a separate phenomenon that is not empty? Therefore an ancient master said: "If there were a single phenomenon [existing], Vairocana would fall among ordinary beings." Some read "nature is hard to sustain"; I fear they are not wise. Consider this carefully.
