寶星經云。爾時世尊。告妙音梵王。汝今何故目不暫捨。乃至無相觀於我耶。善男子。頗有一法名為佛耶。頗有一物可名為名耶。釋曰。故知名體俱空。妙旨斯在。是以絕觀。方見如來。有無之觀。皆是虛妄。不入宗鏡。豈辯真佛乎。

> The Ratnolkāsūtra says: 'At that time the World-Honoured One addressed the Brahma King Wonderful Voice: "Why do you not look away even for a moment, and contemplate me even in signlessness? Good son, is there any phenomenon that could be called 'Buddha'? Is there any thing that could be called 'name'?"' / Exegesis: Hence we know that name and substance are both empty, and the wondrous purport lies herein. Therefore it is by abandoning contemplation that one truly sees the Tathāgata. Contemplations of existence and non-existence are all false. Without entering the mirror of the source, how could one discern the true Buddha?
