金剛經纂要刊定記 5.242

5.242

俱寂。經徵意云：前無所化之境，次無能化之心。所以要無能所者，何謂也？釋意云：以能所俱十，方是菩薩故。法之一字，能所俱攝。

"Both are quiescent": the sūtra's interrogation means: previously there was no objective sphere to be transformed, and next there is no subjective mind capable of transforming. Why must there be no subject and object—what does this mean? The explanation means: because only when both subject and object are quiescent is one a bodhisattva. The single word 'dharma' encompasses both subject and object.
