集古今佛道論衡 4.8

4.8

The Emperor said: 'The two teachings of Buddhism and Daoism return equally to a single goodness. Thus, the realm of Brahmā is empty and quiescent, acting through non-action; the Mysterious Gate is profound and subtle, having virtue through non-virtue. You masters dwell with sincerity in the azure skies, your learning illuminating past and present; your intentions accord with the jewel monastery, and your endeavors illuminate emptiness and existence. You may discuss nominal principles together so as to enlighten and enrich each other.' Huili respectfully replied.
