82.27

疏「四舉七喻通顯無著」者，七喻全同彼文。論釋云「此明遣我非有相，而有二釋：一者前七句以無破有，七喻以有遣無，令不著無故。二者例同於前，亦以無遣有，故云我非有相。幻夢影像，不壞虛相，取不可得。」

Regarding the commentary’s statement "Fourth, presenting seven similes to comprehensively demonstrate non-attachment," the seven similes are completely identical to that text. The treatise explains: "This demonstrates the dispelling of the non-existent characteristics of the self, and there are two explanations: First, the preceding seven phrases use non-existence to destroy existence, while the seven similes use existence to dispel non-existence, causing one not to cling to non-existence. Second, by analogy with what precedes, they also use non-existence to dispel existence; therefore, it states that the self is a non-existent characteristic. Phantoms, dreams, reflections, and images do not destroy the empty appearance, yet grasping [them] is unattainable."
