法智遺編觀心二百問 1.56

1.56

問：既云「又諸觀境不出五陰，今此山等約陰便故。」山等約陰既便，故立陰名，則顯諸境雖無陰名，而體皆是陰，故云不出五陰。那據此句判諸觀境非陰耶？

Question: Since it says, 'Moreover, the various objects of contemplation do not go beyond the five skandhas; now, for these mountains and the like, relying on the skandhas is convenient.' Since relying on the skandhas is convenient for mountains and the like, the name of 'skandha' is established; this demonstrates that although the various objects lack the name of 'skandha', their substance is entirely the skandhas, which is why it says they 'do not go beyond the five skandhas'. How can you rely on this sentence to judge that the various objects of contemplation are not skandhas?
