成唯識論演祕 1.449

1.449

問：有宗自許第六識緣空花等不？若許緣者，此即緣無，心亦得起；若不許者即違聖教。

Question: Does the Sarvāstivāda school itself admit that the sixth consciousness takes sky-flowers and the like as objects, or not? If they admit that it takes them as objects, then here it takes non-existence as an object, yet the mind can still arise; if they do not admit it, then they contradict the sacred teaching.
