大智度論問云。有出入氣。則是我相。視眴壽命心。苦樂愛憎精勤等。是我相。若無我。誰有是出入息。視眴壽命心。苦樂愛憎精勤等。當知有我在內動發。故壽命心。亦是我法。若無我。如牛無御。有我。故能制心入法。不為放逸。若無我者。誰制御心。受苦樂者是我。若無我者。為如樹木。則不應別苦樂。愛憎。精勤亦如是。我雖微細。不可以五情知。因是相故。可知為有。

> The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa asks: "Having inhaling and exhaling breaths is a characteristic of the self. Glancing, blinking, life-span, citta, suffering, pleasure, love, hate, exertion, and so forth, are characteristics of the self. If there is no self, who has these inhalations and exhalations, glancing, blinking, life-span, citta, suffering, pleasure, love, hate, exertion, and so forth? You should know that there is a self inside initiating movement; therefore life-span and citta are also dharmas of the self. If there were no self, it would be like an ox without a driver. Because there is a self, it can control the citta to enter the Dharma and not indulge in heedlessness. If there were no self, who would control the citta? The experiencer of suffering and pleasure is the self; if there were no self, it would be like trees, which cannot distinguish suffering and pleasure. Love and hate, exertion and the like are also like this. Although the self is subtle and cannot be known by the five senses, because of these characteristics, it can be known to exist."
