In Chih-i’s opinion, the distinction among the Three Truths (Emptiness, the Provisional, and the Middle Way) is only so that people can comprehend them easily. Actually, these Three Truths are embedded in each other. When Emptiness is taken into account, the aspects of the Provisional and the Middle Way are also empty — a reality of lacking substantial Being. When the Provisional is taken into account based on the view of Emptiness, all entities bear names as conventional existence a reality of variety. On the basis of Emptiness, this view of the Provisional is non-attachment to the provisional existence. When the Middle Way is taken into account, all entities are both empty and provisional.
