2.31

「須菩提!於意云何?汝謂如來作是念:『我度眾生』耶?須菩提!莫作是念。何以故?實無有眾生如來度者。」佛言:「須菩提!若有實眾生如來度者,如來則有我人眾生壽者相。須菩提!如來說有我者則非有我,而毛道凡夫生者以為有我。須菩提!毛道凡夫生者,如來說名非生,是故言毛道凡夫生。」

"Subhūti, what do you think? Do you suppose the Tathāgata forms this thought: 'I liberate sentient beings'? Subhūti, do not form this thought. Why is this? In reality there are no sentient beings whom the Tathāgata liberates." The Buddha said: "Subhūti, if there were real sentient beings whom the Tathāgata liberates, the Tathāgata would possess the notions of a self, a person, a sentient being, and a life-span. Subhūti, what the Tathāgata speaks of as having a self is not having a self, yet childish ordinary beings take it to be having a self. Subhūti, childish ordinary beings the Tathāgata speaks of as non-beings; therefore they are called childish ordinary beings."
