3.34

問曰:無人,為誰說乎?經言無者,無定性人,非無和合假名眾生,故得為說。觀眾生五陰法數畢竟空寂,而行慈等,名曰無緣。

Question: If there is no person, for whose sake does one speak? When the sūtra speaks of non-existence, it means there is no person of fixed nature, not that there are no sentient beings as nominal designations through assembly; therefore, one can speak for them. Contemplating that the numerical dharmas of the five skandhas of sentient beings are ultimately empty and quiescent, yet practicing benevolence and so forth, is called "unconditioned."
