注維摩詰經 2.348

2.348

什曰：迦葉自謂滅生死能為福田，故以不然明無所滅，以遣其所謂也。肇曰：如火有然，故有滅耳。法性常空，本自無起，今何所滅？猶釋意所對法也。生曰：從他生故無自性也。既無自性，豈有他性哉？然則本自不然，何有滅乎？故如幻。

[Kumāra]jīva says: Kāśyapa considered that extinguishing saṃsāra could serve as a field of merit; therefore, by 'not burning', [Vimalakīrti] clarified that there is nothing to be extinguished, dispelling what he held. [Seng]zhao says: Just as fire burns, so there is extinction. The Dharma-nature is constantly empty, fundamentally without arising; what is there now to extinguish? This still explains the dharmas he confronted in mind. [Dao]sheng says: Arising from other, it has no self-nature. Since it has no self-nature, how could it have other-nature? Thus, fundamentally not burning, how could there be extinction? Therefore, they are like illusions.
