大般涅槃經集解 64.56

64.56

Sengliang comments: Because the monk posed his question while clinging to a fixed self, the answer was that there is no fixed self. The monk's three questions were all attachments: the first asked about the name, the second asked about the reality, and the third asked about the conditions. Therefore the Tathāgata negated his reckoning of reality, saying there is no self or what belongs to a self.
