13.8

答。一即非一者。是情謂一。今所謂緣成一。緣成一者。非是情謂一故。經頌云。一亦不為一。為破諸數故。淺智著諸法。見一以為一。

Answer: 'One is not one' refers to what conceptual thought calls one. What is spoken of now is one completed by conditions. That which is completed by conditions is not what conceptual thought calls one. Therefore a sūtra verse says: 'One also does not serve as one; it is in order to shatter numbers. Those of shallow wisdom cling to dharmas; seeing one, they take it to be one.'
