9.379

於意云何?譬如幻師幻作男女,寧沒生耶?舍利弗言:無沒生也。汝豈不聞,佛說諸法如幻相乎?答曰:如是。若一切法如幻相者,云何問言汝於何沒而來生此。

What do you think? Just as an illusionist magically creates men and women, do they pass away and take birth?" Śāriputra said: "They do not pass away or take birth." [Vimalakīrti said:] "Have you not heard the Buddha declare that all phenomena are like illusory marks?" He answered: "Yes." [Vimalakīrti said:] "If all phenomena are like illusory marks, why do you ask, 'Where did you pass away to come and be born here?'
