- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [78.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.78.15)

疏「非謂得選生處」者，《本行經》說：如來將欲下生，以淨天眼觀閻浮提何處堪我下生，乃至云：「唯有淨飯王家堪，餘家不堪。」則似有選生處。無分別智實無選擇，即智之悲應物然耳，則選無所選。

> Regarding the commentary's "It does not mean having chosen a place of birth": the Benxing jing says that when the Tathāgata was about to descend to be born, he contemplated with the pure divine eye which place in Jambudvīpa was suitable for him to descend and be born in, up to saying: "Only King Śuddhodana's household is suitable; other households are not suitable." This seems as though there was a choice of birth place. The non-conceptual wisdom in truth makes no choice; it is simply that the compassion of wisdom responds to beings in this way, so choosing is without anything chosen.
