註華嚴經題法界觀門頌 1.182

1.182

Appended remark: The title is distinct and clear—an excellent entry path. The meaning is: Screening out false and delusional thoughts is called 'true'; screening out shapes and obstructive physical forms is called 'emptiness'. The name is established relying on the essence and the functional applications of the one mind. 'Contemplation' is the wondrous, non-conceptual wisdom that accords with principle. Understanding phenomena when delusional emotions [are exhausted], it is named from subsuming the objective realm into the mind. The emptiness that is not empty, which transcends characteristics and leaves thoughts behind, profoundly quiet and uniquely persisting, is foremost. This contemplation gate practices the practice of transcending characteristics, operates the wisdom that accords with principle, eliminates the sentiments of nihilistic emptiness and substantial form, and leaves behind the views of the subject of realization and the object of realization. It accords with the true emptiness of the actual limit and is endowed with the wondrous virtues of the truly permanent. Having this sequential arrangement, it is briefly unfolded into four phrases and ten gates. Since one lets down one's hands and enters into the entanglements, dividing into sections and parts cannot be avoided.
