大乘義章 1.65

Language: Classical Chinese

1.65

問曰：前說生死涅槃二俱假名；今言皆非，有何所以？釋言：將名以呼諸法，法隨名轉，故皆假名；廢名求法，法皆離言，是故一切皆非假名。

Question: Previously it was said that both saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are provisional designations; now it is said that neither is. What is the reason for this? Answer: Applying names to call upon dharmas, dharmas turn in accordance with names, and therefore all are provisional designations; setting aside names and seeking dharmas, dharmas are all free from words, and for this reason none are provisional designations.
