3.34

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."
