妙法蓮華經玄義 1.141

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.141)

人者，世界故有，非第一義；第一義可是實，餘不應實。答：各各實。如如法性等，世界故無，第一義故有。人等，第一義故無，世界故有。有於五陰、十二入、十八界，一切名相隔別，名為世界。外人迷此世界，不達法相，或計無因緣有世界，或計邪因緣有世界。大聖隨順眾生所欲樂聞，分別為說正因緣世界法，令得世間正見，是名世界悉檀相。

> A person exists conventionally according to the world, not according to the supreme truth. The supreme truth may indeed be real, whereas the rest should not be real. \[We\] reply: Each is real. True suchness, dharma-nature, and the like do not exist according to the world, but exist according to the supreme truth. Persons and the like do not exist according to the supreme truth, but exist according to the world. Existing in the five aggregates, the twelve sense bases, and the eighteen elements, with all their distinct nominal characteristics, is called the "world". Non-Buddhists are deluded about this world and do not understand the characteristics of dharmas; they either imagine that the world exists without causes and conditions, or imagine that the world exists through improper causes and conditions. The Great Sage, according with what sentient beings desire and delight to hear, discriminates and preaches for them the worldly dharma of correct causes and conditions, enabling them to attain worldly right view. This is called the characteristic of the worldly siddhānta.
