4.46

肇曰:平等之道,實無發心亦無退者。而以不退之行誘其發心,示其美記者,何耶?生曰:明不應存行也。於發有退,故須不退行耳。既無發退,何用行為?若惡發中有退而須不退行者,猶未免退矣,非所以不退。

[Seng]zhao says: On the impartial Way, in truth there is none who generates the mind nor any who retrogresses. Yet why entice them to generate the mind through non-retrogressing practice and display to them an auspicious prophecy? [Dao]sheng says: He clarifies that one should not hold on to practice. Because there is retrogression in generation, one requires non-retrogressing practice. Since there is neither generation nor retrogression, what use is practice? If one detests retrogression within generation and requires non-retrogressing practice, one still has not escaped retrogression, and this is not the means of non-retrogression.
