辯正論 6.32

6.32

開士曰。莊子內篇云。老聃死。秦佚弔焉三號而出。弟子怪問。非夫子之徒歟。秦佚曰。向吾入見。少者哭之如哭其父。老者哭之如哭其子。古者謂之遁天之形。始以為其人也。而今非也。遁者隱也。天者免縛也。形者身也。言始以老子為免縛隱形之仙。今則非也。嗟其諂曲取人之情。故不免死非我友也。

The bodhisattva says: The Inner Chapters of the Zhuangzi state: 'When Lao Dan died, Qin Yi went to mourn him; he wailed three times and came out. The disciples were surprised and asked, "Were you not a friend of the Master?" Qin Yi said, "Just now when I went in, the young mourned him as if mourning their father, and the old mourned him as if mourning their child. In ancient times, this was called evading the natural form. At first I thought he was such a man, but now I know he was not." "Evading" means concealing; "natural" means escaping bonds; "form" means the body. This means that at first he thought Laozi was an immortal who had escaped bonds and concealed his form, but now he knew it was not so. He lamented that Laozi used flattery and crookedness to win people's feelings, and so could not escape death; hence he was not his friend.'
