大般涅槃經集解 65.10

65.10

案僧亮曰：色有異相故說壞，而心無異相故說常也。或者聞色壞而心常，便謂心不生滅，下至上也。僧宗曰：第七諍論也。若論正義，實法則前滅而後生也，假名則始終為一也。或者聞說心則上行，不解相續，言有此心常而不滅，向上受生也。

Sengliang comments: Because form has divergent characteristics, it is said to decay; because the mind has no divergent characteristics, it is said to be permanent. The confused, hearing that form decays while the mind is permanent, immediately assume that the mind does not arise and cease, traveling from the lower to the higher [realms]. Sengzong says: This is the seventh disputed thesis. In terms of the correct doctrine, according to real dharmas, the preceding ceases and the succeeding is born; according to conventional designations, beginning and end are one. The confused, hearing it said that the mind proceeds upward, do not understand succession; they claim that this mind is permanent and unceasing, proceeding upward to receive rebirth.
