金光明最勝王經疏 4.38

4.38

Below is the third, the resolution. First general, next specific. This is general. Because all dharmas are without arising, they are empty. The *Karatala-ratna* says: "The unconditioned has no reality; not arising, it resembles flowers in the sky." "The unconditioned has no reality" is the thesis. "Because of not arising" is the reason; "arising" means being produced. "Resembles flowers in the sky" is the metaphor. Because they do not arise originally, their essence is non-existent. The *Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra*, relying upon the three naturelessnesses, states that all dharmas are unarisen, unceasing, and originally tranquil.
