3.131

什曰:若去我而有無我,猶未免於我也。何以知之?凡言我即主也。經云有二十二根,二十二根亦即二十二主也。雖云無真宰,而有事用之主,是猶廢主而立主也,故於我無我而不二乃無我耳。肇曰:小乘以封我為累,故尊於無我。無我既尊,則於我為二。大乘是非齊旨、二者不殊為無我義也。生曰:理既不從我為空,豈有我能制之哉?則無我矣。無我本無生死中我,非不有佛性我也。

[Kumāra]jīva says: If one removes the self and has non-self, one is still not free from the self. How do we know this? Whenever one speaks of a self, it is a master. The sūtra says there are twenty-two faculties; the twenty-two faculties are also twenty-two masters. Although one says there is no true ruler, there are masters of function and operation; this is still abolishing a master while establishing a master. Therefore, only when one is non-dual with regard to self and non-self is it non-self.

[Seng]zhao says: The Hīnayāna takes clinging to the self as an encumbrance, and therefore esteems non-self. Once non-self is esteemed, it forms a duality with the self. The Mahāyāna equalises the purports of right and wrong, the two being not distinct, as the meaning of non-self.

[Dao]sheng says: Since the principle does not obey the self and is empty, how could there be a self that can control it? Then there is non-self. Non-self originally meant having no self within saṃsāra, not that there is no self of the buddha-nature.
