22.23

Sengliang states: This answers the question about comets. It means that buddhas do not appear simultaneously: if a pratyekabuddha appears in the world, the true Buddha has entered extinction. People produce inverted views and consider it inauspicious. Sengzong states: As for 'the dark moon', it is because an asura's hand obstructs it, causing it not to be seen. Also, it is said that the moon is made of crystal and silver; because of the crystal side, it is like the dark moon.
