就下舉常顯無常中,句別有五:一明虛空無為故常,此名法性以為虛空,非太虛也;二明佛性無為故常;三以空即性;四以佛性即已如來,如來即無為,無為即常;五以常即法,法即是僧,僧即無為,無為即常。
Within adducing the permanent to reveal the impermanent below, there are specifically five statements: first, clarifying that space is permanent because it is unconditioned—this names the dharma-nature as space, not the physical sky; second, clarifying that the buddha-nature is permanent because it is unconditioned; third, that emptiness is identical to the nature; fourth, that the buddha-nature is identical to the Tathāgata, the Tathāgata is unconditioned, and the unconditioned is permanent; fifth, that the permanent is identical to the Dharma, the Dharma is identical to the Saṅgha, the Saṅgha is unconditioned, and the unconditioned is permanent.
