空性無有形色
無可把捉、無從界限
故謂之「真空」
而圓遍一切法
雖不具特定形色
卻能顯萬法各色各形
雖無可把捉、無從界限
卻非絕無
而乃本有
故謂之「妙有」
但所顯萬法皆即本空
一般論因緣
似乎認定僅在萬法之間
空性本有而起妙有之無盡作用
應視為超乎可界定之因緣的
根本因緣

真空妙有
Genuine Blank but Wondrous Presence Yutang Lin
Blank Essence has neither distinct color nor shape
Neither tangible nor delineable
Hence it is said as Genuine Blank
Yet it pervades all things
Even though without distinct color or shape
And yet capable of displaying colors and shapes of all things
Even though intangible and un-delineable
And yet it is not absolute void
But originally present
Hence it is said as Wondrous Presence
But all things it displayed are originally of Blank Essence
Ordinarily when causal conditions are mentioned
The tacit assumption is that they are only among things
Blank Essence as originally present
And yields boundless application of wondrous presence
This should be recognized as the Fundamental Causal Condition
That transcended the definable causal conditions
