論復次覺體相者有四種大義與虛空等猶如淨鏡　（述曰。自下第二性淨本覺。於中有二。初總標。後別釋。此初也。前明本覺隨動之門故說隨染。今明本覺不動之故說性淨。此二本既無別體。是顯本覺不動而動而不動也。答。波不離水。水不離波。正波時不離水所以生滅則是真如。真如則是生滅。體非一故。故說不動而動。動而不動也）。

> Treatise: Furthermore, the essence and marks of enlightenment have four kinds of great meanings, which are equal to empty space and like a clear mirror. (Commentary: From here begins the second part, on the originally pure original enlightenment. Therein are two parts: first, a general statement, and second, a distinct explanation. This is the first. Previously, clarifying the aspect of original enlightenment moving, it was spoken of as 'following defilement'. Now, clarifying the unmoving nature of original enlightenment, it is spoken of as 'originally pure'. Since these two originally have no distinct essence, this shows that original enlightenment is unmoving yet moving, moving yet unmoving. Answer: Waves are not separate from water, and water is not separate from waves. When precisely in the form of waves, they are not separate from water; therefore arising and ceasing is just tathatā, and tathatā is just arising and ceasing. Since their essence is not different, it is therefore said to be unmoving yet moving, moving yet unmoving.)
