注大乘入楞伽經 4.82

4.82

Although being free from existence and non-existence was mentioned above, it was not yet known what constitutes existence and non-existence. Now the real essence of existence and non-existence is explicitly presented. This means that foolish ordinary beings do not know that these are manifestations caused by the false habits of their own cittamatra, and they cling to external dharmas as existent or non-existent, generating views such as the four propositions; this is the essence of imaginary existence and non-existence. The twelve analogies below illustrate that these dharmas such as existence and non-existence, identity and difference, are all unreal and should be abandoned. This answers the previous request: 'Please speak to me of the realm traversed that is free from identity and difference, existence and non-existence, permanence and impermanence.'
