金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 2.8

2.8

Within the second part, adducing past events as proof, there are broadly six sections: first, examining and determining whether it is so or not; second, from 'Subhūti said to the Buddha' downward, there are two clauses answering and revealing the true mark; third, from 'The Buddha said, "So it is"' downward, confirming the correct principle; fourth, from 'Subhūti, if there had been a dharma' downward, inversely establishing the fault; fifth, from 'Because there was truly no dharma' downward, using principle to establish the event, which has two clauses; sixth, from 'Why is this?' downward, question and answer, revealing the characteristic of practice with respect to the Buddha, and also resolving the hidden doubt: 'If there is no bodhi, then there are no Buddhas, no Tathāgatas.' In order to resolve this doubt, the text says: 'is the reality of tathatā.'
