4.161

三、約識種明無我，二：初、約識正破。「草木瓦礫亦由陰陽轉變」者，草木如春榮秋凋，瓦礫如將雨礎潤，皆似有知也。荊溪云：瓦礫亦有四時改動，如瓦炭能知時雨。暹云：欲雨瓦重，欲晴炭重。「神使知知」者，謂以知知物，故云知知。

Third, clarifying non-self in terms of the consciousness element, in two: first, directly refuting in terms of consciousness. Regarding "plants, trees, tiles, and stones are also transformed by yin and yang," plants and trees flourish in spring and wither in autumn, while tiles and stones show moisture on plinths when rain is imminent; all seem to possess sentience. Jingxi states: tiles and stones also undergo changes across the four seasons, just as tiles and charcoal can know the coming of seasonal rain. [Dao]xian states: when rain is imminent, tiles become heavy; when clear weather is imminent, charcoal becomes heavy. Regarding "the soul causes the knower to know," this means knowing objects through knowledge; hence it is called 'the knower knowing'.
