注大乘入楞伽經 1.88

1.88

From here down, eight verses praise the Buddha's virtues in general. The 'world' refers to the world of sentient beings. It praises the Buddha's understanding that sentient beings are unreal and provisional, like flowers in the sky, and thus without arising or ceasing. It means that the Tathāgata's samyag-jñāna investigates and finds these sentient beings neither existent nor non-existent; therefore, unconditioned great compassion arises spontaneously. If one assumes the existence of sentient beings and gives rise to compassion, it is called compassion of affection and views.
