大般涅槃經集解 52.24

52.24

Sengliang states: Above, the practice of attaining the three liberations was explained, attaining the Middle Way's meaning of emptiness. In preparing to expound the Middle Way, [the sūtra] first explains the three views that do not accord with the Middle Way. First, it explains the view that there is no fruit in the cause. The mind inherently being unbound means: just as visual consciousness grasps visible form without yet having defilement, it is not bound by defilement. Sengzong states: Craving and the pure mind arise and cease, never encountering each other; this is what is meant by 'all dharmas do not depend on one another', down to 'they do not abide for a single thought-moment'.
