大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 43.22

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [43.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.43.22)

疏「實則愚夫自誑」者，如獼猴執月，月豈有心誑獼猴耶？愚夫執虛為實，明是自誑。經云「誑愚夫」者，是愚夫不了之境義似誑耳。

> Regarding the Commentary's statement, "In reality, foolish persons deceive themselves": It is like a monkey grasping at the moon; could the moon have the intention to deceive the monkey? The foolish person grasps the unreal as real, which clearly is self-deception. When the sūtra says "deceives foolish persons," it means that the objects that foolish persons fail to understand appear, in their sense, like deception.
