維摩經玄疏 6.16

6.16

First, what is clarified by mundane texts is not the true mark: What mundane texts clarify is solely for pacifying the state and ordering the family, rewarding good and punishing evil; benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom; sincerity, filial piety, and reverence; and the ways of nourishing life and nourishing nature. All of these are discourses of craving. Even Śakra Devānām Indra's various good discourses, the discourses on departing from desire spoken by the Brahmā kings, and the discourses on immortals by those of the five supernormal knowledges are all likewise frivolous discourses belonging to craving. Frivolous discourse destroys the wisdom eye and prevents seeing reality; therefore none of these are the true mark.
