肇論新疏 3.124

3.124

子徒不聞正觀之說歟？維摩詰言：「我觀如來無始無終，六入已過、三界已出，不在方、不離方，非有為、非無為，不可以識識、不可以智知，無言無說、心行處滅。以此觀者乃名正觀，以他觀者非見佛也。」《放光》云：「佛如虛空，無去無來，應緣而現，無有方所。」

"Have you simply not heard the exposition of correct contemplation? Vimalakīrti said: 'I contemplate the Tathāgata as having no beginning and no end; he has surpassed the six sense bases and transcended the triple realm; he is not in a direction, nor apart from a direction; he is neither conditioned nor unconditioned; he cannot be recognized by consciousness, nor known by wisdom; he is beyond words and speech, and the paths of mental activity are extinguished. Contemplating in this way is named correct contemplation; contemplating otherwise is not seeing the Buddha.' The Fangguang states: 'The Buddha is like empty space, without going and without coming, appearing in response to conditions, having no spatial location.'"
