俱舍論疏 21.109

21.109

論「若謂去、來法無作用故名為遠」者，諸無為法作用既無，云何名近？「若謂由現遍得無為故名近」者，去、來二世例亦應然。「虛空無為如何名近，乃至不應一向說名為遠」，上來皆是論主遮轉計也。

Regarding the statement in the treatise: "If you say that past and future dharmas are called distant because they lack activity (kāritra)": since all unconditioned dharmas lack activity, how could they be called near? "If you say that because the unconditioned is universally acquired through the present it is called near": the past and future periods should by analogy be the same. "How could space unconditioned be called near? […] And so it should not be spoken of as solely distant": all of the above are refutations by the treatise master of alternative hypotheses.
