3.50

十、無始空。無始空者,一切世間,若眾生、若法皆無有始。如佛告諸比丘:「眾生無始無明,覆愛所繫,往來生死,無始可得。」可破是無始,於無始中無執著,故名無始空也。

Tenth: beginningless emptiness. Beginningless emptiness: all worlds, whether sentient beings or dharmas, have no beginning. As the Buddha told the monks: 'Sentient beings are bound by beginningless ignorance and veiled by craving, traversing birth and death; no beginning can be apprehended.' One can dismantle this beginninglessness and have no clinging within the beginningless; therefore it is called beginningless emptiness.
