無量壽經優婆提舍願生偈註 2.95

2.95

問曰：既言無知故無所不知；若無所不知者，豈不是知種種法耶？既知種種之法，復云何言無所分別耶？答曰：諸法種種相皆如幻化，然幻化象馬非無長頸鼻手足異，而智者觀之豈言定有象馬分別之耶？

Question: You say that because it is without knowing, there is nothing it does not know. If there is nothing it does not know, does it not know the various phenomena? Since it knows the various phenomena, how can you again say that it has no discrimination? Answer: The various marks of all phenomena are like illusions and transformations. Yet although illusory elephants and horses are not without differences of long necks, trunks, hands, and feet, when a wise person contemplates them, would he ever say that there are definitely real elephants and horses to be discriminated?
