法界次第初門 3.71

3.71

十、如化。如化者，若諸天仙聖得神通者，能有變化諸物，如化人無生老病死、無苦、無樂，亦異於人生，以是故空無實。一切諸法亦如是，皆無生滅，又如化主無定物，但以心生便有所作，皆無有實。人生亦如是，本無所因，但從先世心生今世身，皆無有實。以是故，說諸法如化。

Tenth, like a magical creation. 'Like a magical creation' means that if devas, ṛṣis, and sages who have attained superknowledges are able to transform various things, just as a magically created person has no birth, aging, sickness, or death, no suffering and no joy, and is also different from human life, for this reason it is empty and lacks reality. All dharmas are also like this: all lack arising and cessation. Furthermore, just as the master of transformations has no fixed objects, but merely produces what he creates by the arising of the mind, none of which has reality; human life is also like this: originally having no cause, it is merely through the mind of the previous life giving rise to the body of the present life, none of which has reality. For this reason, all dharmas are said to be like a magical creation.
