大般涅槃經集解 45.39

45.39

案僧亮曰：第六難也。寶亮曰：亦如第五難意無異。若萬法有一定性，則無三世；以無定故，經三世耳。而已過之聲不可聞者，未至亦不聞，現在即生即滅又不可聞。故論云「諸法取塵無處」，以況涅槃也。

Sengliang notes: This is the sixth objection. Baoliang says: Its meaning does not differ from that of the fifth objection. If the myriad phenomena possessed a single fixed nature, there would be no three times; because they are not fixed, they pass through the three times. That a sound that has already passed cannot be heard means that what has not yet arrived is also unheard, and what is in the present arises and ceases in an instant and likewise cannot be heard. Thus the treatise states, 'phenomena apprehend sense-objects nowhere,' which is used as an analogy for nirvāṇa.
