金剛般若論會釋 3.53

3.53

問：「第一義中無一切法，何故獨說無微塵耶？」答：「以凡夫、二乘不能破微塵故，或執微塵是實是常，或執第一義中有實微塵，為破此等妄執故，言若微塵聚第一義中是有，佛則不說是微塵眾。」

Question: 'In the ultimate truth all phenomena are non-existent; why speak solely of there being no atoms?' Answer: 'Because ordinary people and the two vehicles are unable to break down atoms, either grasping atoms as real and permanent, or grasping that real atoms exist in the ultimate truth; in order to refute these false graspings, it is said that if the collection of atoms were existent in the ultimate truth, the Buddha would not speak of them as a multitude of atoms.'
