大般涅槃經集解 36.53

36.53

Sengzong states: The fifth objection challenges based on name and meaning. If one explains 'immeasurable' according to the correct principle, it is precisely taking immeasurable sentient beings as its object. Adopting the guise of an uncomprehending argument, it errantly misconstrues the Buddha's intent, asserting that if the essence of mind is boundless and thus termed immeasurable, then there are more than four; while if one reduces them to a minimum, there should merely be one.
