8.66
什曰:無明能生明,故不異於明。明由無明生,故不異於無明。無明故不可取,能生明故不可捨。明亦如是,非無明故不可離,無明生故不可取。譬如蓮華色雖嚴潔,所因不淨。推其所因,心不生著也。
[Kumāra]jīva says: Ignorance can produce clarity, so it is not different from clarity. Clarity arises due to ignorance, so it is not different from ignorance. Because it is ignorance it cannot be grasped, and because it can produce clarity it cannot be discarded. Clarity is also like this: because it is not ignorance it cannot be separated from it, and because it is born of ignorance it cannot be grasped. It is like a lotus flower: though its color is adorned and pure, that from which it originates is impure. Tracing its origin, the mind gives rise to no attachment.
