注維摩詰經 3.119

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.119](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.119)

什曰：法要，謂一切法，略說有二種，有為、無為也。迦旃延於後演，有為則四非常、無為則寂滅義也。肇曰：如來常略說，有為法無常苦空無我、無為法寂滅不動。此二言總一切法盡，故言略。生曰：為悟所津，若出之由戶焉。

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: 'Essentials of the Dharma' refers to all dharmas, which briefly stated are of two kinds: conditioned and unconditioned. Kātyāyana subsequently elaborated: the conditioned refers to the four non-permanences \[impermanence, suffering, emptiness, non-self\], and the unconditioned refers to the meaning of quiescent extinction. \[Seng\]zhao says: The Tathāgata constantly expounded briefly that conditioned dharmas are impermanent, suffering, empty, and non-self, and that unconditioned dharmas are quiescently extinct and unmoving. These two statements summarize all dharmas completely, hence he says 'briefly'. \[Dao\]sheng says: They serve as the ford to awakening, like going out through a door.
