3.61

答：「分明云眾生自妄認為實，其性常空。雖受苦樂，厭愛情生；人法俱空，一無所得。猶如夢見好惡，欣慼盈懷；及至覺來，豁然無事。覺來非有，夢裡非無；既習顛倒之因，不無虛妄之果。」

Answer: "It has been clearly stated that sentient beings themselves deludedly recognize it as real, whereas its nature is ever empty. Although they experience suffering and pleasure, and feelings of aversion and love arise, both persons and dharmas are empty, and not a single thing is grasped. It is just like seeing good and bad in a dream: joy and sorrow fill the heart, yet upon waking, there is completely nothing at all. Upon waking it is not existent, but in the dream it was not non-existent. Having cultivated inverted causes, they are not without unreal fruits."
