大般涅槃經集解 67.4

67.4

Sengliang notes: This specifically cites what is spoken by one who clings one-sidedly, wishing to block their error. Zhixiu says: Below, this is the third cause and condition: citing what worldly people say, that because there is fruit within the cause it can produce the fruit, inquiring of the Buddha to seek resolution. Daohui's Record states: Just as in the 'Lion's Roar' chapter there was also the objection of pre-existence, it is adduced here because he wishes the Buddha to broadly clarify the principle of neither existence nor non-existence.
