2.133
Originally having come thus, one must indeed go thus. Meaning: "Phenomenal dharmas" are the substance that constitutes phenomena of the sixth gate. "Principle" is the emptiness-function of substance of the fourth gate. Therefore, this establishes the meaning that constituting phenomena is identical to the substance being empty, revealing that discarding oneself to identify with the other eliminates its phenomena. This is the false reaching the true source; though existing, it is not permanent. The Contemplation says: "Therefore it is said that sentient beings are identical to Suchness, not awaiting extinction. Just as the moving characteristics of waves are entirely water, having no different characteristics."
