大般涅槃經集解 25.38

25.38

Sengliang states: As for 'depending on a master, the meaning is not established': if command of one's life depends on the master, all meanings are thus complete, and the meaning of suffering is not established. As for 'not depending on a master, the meaning is not established': if one does not follow the master's instruction, being ignorant and unknowing, the meaning of bliss is not established. As for 'if one obtains mastery, it is not established': because of not depending on a master, being ignorant and unknowing, it is not called mastery.
