大般涅槃經集解 59.32

59.32

案僧亮曰：破此執有三關。此第一，從緣生故，緣大燈大，所以能有異也。我不從緣，不應異也。寶亮曰：燈之與明悉從緣有，我既不爾，云何為喻？燈明要有本有末，在主之炎為本、譬上之明為末，成我不從身出，出住在異處，故無我也。

Sengliang comments: "Refuting this attachment has three passes. This is the first: because it arises from conditions, when conditions are large the lamp is large, and this is why there can be differences. The self does not arise from conditions; it should not differ." Baoliang comments: "Both the lamp and the light exist entirely from conditions; since the self is not so, how could it serve as an analogy? The lamp and light must have root and branch: the flame on the wick is the root, and the illumination above is the branch; this establishes that the self does not emerge from the body to abide in another place, and therefore there is no self."
