首楞嚴義疏注經 3.175

3.175

This is a refutation based on [the dilemma that] whether changing or unchanging, it is not a realm. The first two sentences refute it on the ground that if it changes along with them, there is no consciousness: if consciousness also changes when forms change, what can be called consciousness? The four sentences from 'If it does not change' onward refute it on the ground that if it does not change, it has no cognition: if it does not change along with them, consciousness would be permanently present; yet having originally arisen from forms, it should not cognize empty space.
