3.197

什曰,前心不待後心生竟然後滅也。肇曰:成前無相,常淨義也。諸法如電,新新不停,一起一滅不相待也。彈指頃有六十念過,諸法乃無一念頃住,況欲久停。無住則如幻,如幻則不實,不實則為空,空則常淨。然則物物斯淨,何有罪累於我哉?

[Kumāra]jīva says: "The preceding mind does not wait for the subsequent mind to finish arising before it perishes." [Seng]zhao says: "This completes the previous meaning of signlessness and constant purity. Dharmas are like lightning, continuously in flux, arising and perishing without depending on each other. In the space of a finger-snap, sixty thought-moments pass; dharmas do not abide even for a single thought-moment, much less stay long. Non-abiding, they are like illusions; like illusions, they are unreal; unreal, they are empty; empty, they are constantly pure. Thus each and every thing is pure; how could there be a burden of sin upon me?"
