成唯識論演祕 1.49

1.49

Answer: There are three explanations. One says: The Dharma of all Buddhas is identical; apart from the Dharma spoken by all Buddhas, there is no Dharma that can be spoken, which is called "not speaking." The second says: All dharmas have Suchness as their nature, and True Suchness is beyond words, which is called "not speaking the Dharma"; furthermore, because there is no Dharma outside of Suchness that can be spoken, it is collectively called "not speaking." The third says: Phenomena such as the eye have an intrinsically existing nature that does not come to exist only after being spoken; therefore, it is said "not spoken." There are further explanations, as determined in the Fayuan [yilin zhang].
