辯正論 6.52

6.52

外論曰。夫等無生滅其理則均。導世引凡不無差異。但生者物之所欣。滅者物之所惡。然則生道難得必俟修功。滅法易求詎勞稟學。是知騰神駕景。自可積劫身存。氣盡形殂。固當一時神逝。此教門之殊二也。

The non-Buddhist treatise says: As for the equality of non-arising and non-cessation, the principle is uniform. Yet in guiding the world and leading ordinary beings, there cannot but be differences. Arising is what beings delight in; cessation is what beings abhor. Thus, the way of life is difficult to attain and must await cultivated merit; the method of cessation is easy to seek, so how could it require laborious learning? From this we know that by ascending with the spirit and harnessing the sunbeams, one can naturally preserve the body for accumulated kalpas; when the qi is exhausted and the form perishes, the spirit naturally passes away in an instant. This is the second difference in the gates of teaching.
