大般涅槃經集解 56.76

56.76

Sengliang comments: Regarding 'both are absent': above, it was said that coarseness exists, but coarseness does not need illumination. If coarseness originally did not exist, what would coarseness illuminate? If one says it illuminates non-existence to make it exist, it should also be able to produce it; if a khadira tree originally contained burning, burning could not arise. Regarding 'not simultaneous': he faults the three marks for not functioning simultaneously. Regarding 'dark honey cures cold': this clarifies that phenomena differ according to conditions and have no fixed nature.
