金剛般若波羅蜜經註解 1.75

1.75

This section anticipates someone suspecting: 'Since giving is divorced from marks, there is no karmic reward of merit.' Therefore the Buddha declares: 'The merit of giving divorced from marks is all the greater.' Because giving without abiding in marks accords with the emptiness of nature, and the emptiness of nature is boundless, the merit of giving is boundless; hence he adduces space in the ten directions as an analogy. The treatise says: 'Its meaning has three aspects: first, it pervades all places; second, it is broad, vast, high, and great; third, it is ultimate and inexhaustible.' The above concludes the answer to the questions on subduing and abiding.
