注維摩詰經 5.176

5.176

肇曰：萬物紛紜，聚散誰為？緣合則起、緣散則離，聚散無先期，故法法不相知也。生曰：從緣起者亦不能不從起，非能從他起也。若能從起者，必有從起之知。而所知在己不在於彼，故無相知之義也。是亦自在為我義焉。

[Seng]zhao says: The myriad things are tumultuous; for whose sake are their gathering and dispersing? When conditions combine, they arise; when conditions disperse, they separate. Gathering and dispersing have no prior agreement; therefore, dharma and dharma do not know one another. [Dao]sheng says: Those that arise from conditions also cannot but arise from them; it is not that they are able to arise from another. If they were able to arise from them, there would certainly be knowledge of arising from them. But what is known resides in oneself and not in the other, so there is no meaning of mutual knowing. This also would be the meaning of an independent self.
