金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 1.85

1.85

In the second part, displaying the measure of virtue, there are four phrases, which can be understood. The reason for saying that motes of dust are again not motes of dust, and preaching a world as not a world, is that they are not the motes of dust conceptualized through defilements and the like; hence it says 'not motes of dust', etc. 'They are named motes of dust', etc., refers to the motes of dust without conceptual discrimination such as earth and so forth. Earth and so forth are without conceptual discrimination, and since there is no mind of measurement, the measure free from conceptual discrimination is also like this.
