6.291
譬如幻師化作幻女,若有人問:何以不轉女身?是人為正問不?舍利弗言:不也。幻無定相,當何所轉?天曰:一切諸法亦復如是,無有定相。云何乃問不轉女身。
"Just as an illusionist creates an illusory woman: if someone were to ask, 'Why do you not transform your female body?', would that person be asking properly?" Śāriputra said: "No. An illusion has no fixed characteristics; what should be transformed?" The goddess said: "All phenomena are also like this, without fixed characteristics. Why then do you ask why I do not transform my female body?"
