「又問至中求」,第六番問答。「問:六十二見當於何求」者,此明諸見顛倒本來不實,依何處起而求諸見?淨名即答「當於諸佛解脫中求」。何者?諸佛解脫即是中道自性清淨心,不為煩惱所染,本非縛脫,不染而染難可了知。即是眾生迷真性解脫,故起六十二見,有縛有脫。此見非餘處起,即是迷於真性解脫而起。今欲求此迷情諸見者,當於諸佛真性解脫中求,則知六十二見所起之源也,如欲求氷不得離水。

"He further asked... 'sought within.'" This is the sixth round of question and answer. "He asked: 'Where should the sixty-two views be sought?'" clarifies that these inverted views are fundamentally unreal; relying on what place do they arise, that one may seek these views? Vimalakīrti then answers, "They should be sought within the liberation of the buddhas." Why is this? The liberation of the buddhas is itself the inherently pure mind of the Middle Way, unstained by afflictions, fundamentally neither bound nor liberated; unstained yet stained, it is difficult to comprehend. It is precisely because sentient beings are confused about the liberation of the true nature that they give rise to the sixty-two views, having bondage and liberation. These views do not arise from anywhere else; they arise precisely from being confused about the liberation of the true nature. Now, wishing to seek these confused views, one must seek them within the buddhas' liberation of the true nature; then one knows the source from which the sixty-two views arise, just as wishing to seek ice, one cannot leave water.
