57.36

Sengliang comments: Light was used as an analogy for sentient beings, and later sentient beings were compared to a lamp. That is, light is the lamp, and oil is the cause of arising. Now, affliction is the cause of the sentient being's formation; in the end, what is used as an analogy for what? Baoliang says: Siṃhanāda again clings to the lamp's light and the oil being two distinct objects; if one says that the sentient being is the bondage itself, then this is not an analogy.
