大般涅槃經集解 53.60

53.60

案僧亮曰：見法有性者，見空則見常也。九地不見常，以不見空，是故十地但少見也。寶亮曰：經文正自如此，故知九地以來唯見無我空，非真無相理也。既所觀是事無非真我空，故言見法有相，非是執性見有，正以脩無我多，故未能見佛性也。

Sengliang states: 'Seeing phenomena as having a nature' means that seeing emptiness is seeing permanence. Those on the nine stages do not see permanence because they do not see emptiness; therefore, those on the tenth stage only see it partially. Baoliang states: The sūtra text is precisely like this, so we know that up through the nine stages, they only see the emptiness of non-self, which is not the true principle of signlessness. Since what they contemplate are conditioned matters, it is not the emptiness of the true self; hence it says 'seeing phenomena as having characteristics.' It is not that they grasp a nature and see existence, but precisely because they cultivate non-self so much, they have not yet been able to see the buddhadhātu.
