大般涅槃經集解 20.36

20.36

案道生曰：因緣不得相離。因緣有故，學得成佛，豈離無我而有我耶？僧宗曰：此第八，正理也。如智人所解，因果之相關也。寶亮曰：就昔教之時，不作我無我。若就今教，故不俟言也。我者，據佛果；無我者，據生死。論實相之中，則無別也。

Daosheng comments: Cause and condition cannot be separated. Because causes and conditions exist, through training one is able to attain Buddhahood; how could there be a self apart from non-self? Sengzong says: This is the eighth section, the correct principle. As understood by the wise, cause and fruit are interrelated. Baoliang says: In the time of the past teaching, self and non-self were not formulated. In terms of the present teaching, it goes without saying. "Self" is based on the Buddha-fruit; "non-self" is based on saṃsāra. When discussed within the true mark, there is no difference.
