5.166

[Kumāra]jīva says: These three are identical in fact but differ in meaning. [Seng]zhao says: The root of illness is the false conception mentioned above. Because there is false conception, self and sentient beings are manifested. If one realizes the inversion of false conception, then there is no self and no sentient beings. [Dao]sheng says: Having known that illness arises from attachment to a self, one should then immediately eliminate it. Although 'sentient being' is just 'self', as he intends to infer that within the combination of various dharmas there is no self, he therefore adds it here to examine and manifest this meaning.
