摩訶止觀 5.264

5.264

又復言出單、複、具足四句之外，言語道斷，心行處滅，泯然清淨，即是無生絕言之道。如此計者，還是不可說絕言之見，何關正道？徒謂絕言，言終不絕，何以故？待不絕而論絕，絕還是待；待對得起，不應言絕。如避虛空，豈有免理？

Furthermore, if you claim that beyond the simple, compound, and complete four phrases the path of language is cut off, the place of mental activity is extinguished, and that in its tranquil purity this is precisely the path of the unborn that transcends words—such an attachment is still merely the ineffable view of transending words; what has it to do with the correct path? You vainly claim that words are transcended, yet words are never transcended. Why is this? Because you speak of transcendence in relativity to non-transcendence, transcendence is still relative; that which arises from relativity cannot be called transcended. Just like trying to escape empty space, how could there be any possibility of evading it?
