金剛三昧經論 2.16

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1730.2.16)

經曰　佛言：「無忍無生心者，心無形段，猶如火性雖處木中，其在無所，決定性故。但名但字，性不可得，欲詮其理假說為名，名不可得。心相亦爾，不見處所。知心如是則無生心。」

> The sūtra states: The Buddha said: 'As for the mind devoid of tolerance and devoid of arising, the mind has no shape or parts, just as the nature of fire, although dwelling in wood, has no location, because it is of a determinate nature. It is merely a designation, merely a letter, its nature unobtainable; wishing to express its principle, it is provisionally given a name, yet the name is unobtainable. The marks of the mind are also like this: its location is not seen. Knowing the mind to be like this, there is then no arising mind.'
