註華嚴經題法界觀門頌 1.288

1.288

If effort does not arrive, things are neither square nor round; / If language does not communicate, they are not of the family.
The meaning is: The previous gate concerned the object: the object's characteristics have no reality and return to true emptiness; hence it was called 'manifesting principle.' This gate concerns the mind: the mind is not annihilated and is not different from illusory form; hence it is called 'manifesting understanding.' The Contemplation says: 'Fourth, because true emptiness is identical to illusory form, whatever is true emptiness is necessarily not different from form, because it is not annihilated.'
