6.159

拂迹。經意云：佛雖說我元來無我，執有我者蓋是凡夫，雖言凡夫亦無凡夫。如夢人見虎，虎與夢人皆不可得。法中亦爾，以凡夫人執我故云非我，恐執凡夫故云非凡。夫邐迤除遣執情，故云展轉拂迹。然前正答問中，及第十一十四，兼此一段前後四處，皆說度生無度，雖文同而意異。謂最初令離我度生，十一疑能度者是我，十四疑無我而誰度，二十一疑真界平等不合度生。同異昭然

Sweeping away traces. The sūtra's intent is: although the Buddha said "I", originally there is no self; those who grasp at there being a self are merely ordinary beings; although he spoke of ordinary beings, there are also no ordinary beings. It is like a dreaming person seeing a tiger: neither the tiger nor the dreaming person can be found. In phenomena it is also thus: because ordinary persons grasp at a self, it says "not a self"; fearing they might grasp at "ordinary persons", it says "not ordinary". It gradually removes grasping attachments, hence it is called "successively sweeping away traces". However, in the earlier direct answer to the question, in the eleventh and fourteenth, and together with this passage—across these four places earlier and later—all speak of delivering beings without deliverance; although the phrasing is identical, the intents differ. That is, the very first directs one to deliver beings free from self; the eleventh doubts that the deliverer is an "I"; the fourteenth doubts who delivers if there is no self; the twenty-first doubts that since the true realm is equal, it is not fitting to deliver beings. The similarities and differences are manifest.
