### [4.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1702.4.59)

法界者。一真法界平等無差。云何於中見自他相？故偈云：「平等真法界，佛不度眾生。」此上五義，大雲之文。然於中，一三約所，二約能所，四唯約能，五該本末也。大抵意云：若見眾生有可度者，即生疲勞不能常度；反此即常也。又度與不度其心不二，名之為常也。故《金剛三昧經》云：「若化眾生，不生於化、不生無化，其化大焉。」

> "Dharmadhātu": the one true dharmadhātu is equal and without distinctions. How could one perceive marks of self and other within it? Hence the verse says: 'In the equal, true dharmadhātu, / the Buddha liberates no sentient beings.' These above five meanings are the text of Dayun. However, among them, the first and third concern the object; the second concerns both subject and object; the fourth concerns only the subject; and the fifth encompasses both root and branch. The general intention is: if one sees sentient beings as something to be liberated, weariness arises and one cannot liberate them perpetually; reversing this is 'perpetual'. Furthermore, whether liberating or not liberating, one's mind is non-dual, which is termed 'perpetual'. Hence the Vajrasamādhi Sūtra states: 'If in transforming sentient beings, one gives rise neither to transformation nor to non-transformation, that transformation is immense.'
