維摩經略疏 5.68

5.68

"Upāli... up to... like lightning": second, clarifying the understanding of the provisionality of continuity to enter emptiness. The metaphor of an illusion illustrates the dharmas of continuity; it is merely a provisional designation that continuity entails transgression. If one understands that continuity is not from self, other, and so forth, one then enters emptiness and does not see the characteristics of transgression; the characteristics of transgression are false, with nothing to be attained, and the defilement of transgression ceases on its own. The metaphor of lightning is to reveal the rapid arising and ceasing of continuity.
