5.35

凡夫妄計五蘊為我、我所,流轉生死。由其往昔曾種二乘善根,佛逗彼機,為說五蘊生滅本無人我,原不曾說五蘊是實法也。彼自畢竟執著,不達五蘊本空,所以怖畏生死,妄取涅槃,違於大乘平等法門,豈如來說法之本意哉?

Ordinary beings falsely conceive the five aggregates as self and belonging to self, wandering in saṃsāra. Because in the past they had planted the wholesome roots of the two vehicles, the Buddha adapted to their capacities and taught for them that the arising and ceasing of the five aggregates is originally without a personal self; he never originally said that the five aggregates are real dharmas. They themselves became ultimately attached, not comprehending that the five aggregates are originally empty, and therefore feared saṃsāra and falsely grasped nirvāṇa, violating the Mahāyāna teaching of equality—how could that have been the Tathāgata’s original intent in expounding the Dharma?
