佛言。善男子。法供養者諸佛所說深經。一切世間難信難受。微妙難見清淨無染。非但分別思惟之所能問　下六答法供養。文二。一明法體。二明供養法中文五。初明理法。二明教法。三明行勝。四明果勝。五總結也。此初明實相理法也。肇曰。深經謂之方等第一義也。其旨深玄非有心之所得。微妙無緣非明者。所覩超絕塵境無染。若空欲以有心有明而信受者。不亦難乎。又解。實相深理難信難見。性淨無染促可智悟。非分別思惟能得。又解。情與理違故難信。行與理違故難受。惑與理違故難見。

"The Buddha said: 'Good man, the offering of Dharma refers to the profound sūtras spoken by the Buddhas, which all the world finds difficult to believe and difficult to accept, wondrous and difficult to see, pure and undefiled, not to be reached merely by conceptual discrimination and deliberation.'" / Below, the sixth [part] answers regarding the offering of Dharma, in two parts: first, clarifying the essence of the Dharma; second, clarifying the offering. In the Dharma, there are five points: first, the Dharma of principle; second, the Dharma of teaching; third, the superiority of practice; fourth, the superiority of the fruit; fifth, a general conclusion. This first [point] clarifies the Dharma of principle, which is the true mark. / Sengzhao says: "'Profound sūtras' refers to the ultimate truth of the Vaipulya teachings. Their purport is deep and mysterious, unattainable by a discursive mind. Subtle and free of conditions, it cannot be perceived by ordinary sight. Transcending the defilement of worldly objects, it is undefiled like empty space. If one wishes to believe and accept it with an ordinary mind and ordinary perception, is that not difficult?" Another explanation: "The profound principle of the true mark is difficult to believe and difficult to see; because its nature is pure and undefiled, it can only be realized through wisdom and cannot be attained by conceptual discrimination and deliberation." Yet another explanation: "Because sentiment opposes principle, it is difficult to believe; because ordinary practice opposes principle, it is difficult to accept; because delusion opposes principle, it is difficult to see."
