# 法界次第初門 3.50

法界次第初門 3.50

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.50)

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.
