虛空孕菩薩經偈云。一切諸法相。真實無知者。若人住諸陰。六根皆蔽塞。釋曰。故知諸法皆真。無知無見。纔有知見。即落識陰。則一心不通。六根闇塞。終不能見無見之見知無知之知。若有見之見。則不見一切。若無知之知。則無所不知。所以賢護經云。若菩薩觀四念處時。無法可見。無聲可聞。無聞見故。則無有法可得分別。亦無有法可得思惟。而亦非瞽盲聾故。但是諸法無可見故。以唯一真心。見外無法。

A verse in the Ākāśagarbhabodhisattvasūtra says: / 'The characteristics of all phenomena / Are true, without any knower. / If someone abides in the aggregates, / Their six sense faculties will all be blocked and occluded.' / Exegesis: Hence we know that all phenomena are true, without knowing and without seeing. The moment there is knowing and seeing, one falls into the aggregate of consciousness; then the one mind is impeded, and the six sense faculties are darkened and blocked, so that in the end one can never see the seeing that is without seeing, nor know the knowing that is without knowing. If it is seeing that has seeing, then it does not see anything; if it is knowing that is without knowing, then there is nothing it does not know. Therefore the Bhadrapālasūtra says: 'When a bodhisattva contemplates the four stations of mindfulness, there is no phenomenon to be seen and no sound to be heard. Because there is nothing heard or seen, there is no phenomenon to be discriminated, nor is there any phenomenon to be reflected upon. Yet they are not blind or deaf; it is simply that all phenomena are without anything to be seen.' Because there is only the one true mind, outside of seeing there is no phenomenon.
