維摩經略疏 1.115

1.115

問：界內可有魔外，界外何得有耶？答：《大經》說八魔，四內四外也；《華嚴》十魔通界內外，分別可知；《涅槃》迦葉自歎云「自此之前皆名邪見」，則藏通三乘聖人皆名界外魔外。故呵善吉云「入於邪見不到彼岸，汝與魔外一手作之。」豈非界外有魔外耶？

Question: Within the realms there may well be māras and non-Buddhists, but how could there be any beyond the realms? Answer: The Great Sūtra speaks of eight māras: four internal and four external. The Avataṃsaka's ten māras apply both within and beyond the realms, and their distinctions can be understood. In the Nirvāṇa [Sūtra], Kāśyapa lamented himself, saying: "Prior to this, everything was called wrong view." Thus the noble ones of the three vehicles in the Tripiṭaka and Shared [Teachings] are all called māras and non-Buddhists beyond the realms. Therefore he rebuked Subhūti, saying: "Entering wrong views and not reaching the other shore, you and the māras and non-Buddhists act as one." How is it not the case that there are māras and non-Buddhists beyond the realms?
