辯正論 8.8

8.8

甄鸞笑云。此之真文既在玉京山中災所不及。而復說言自然之文。與運同生同滅。生滅之日豈非災也。又云。我身常與靈寶同時出沒。又云。我隨劫生死。計靈寶運滅之日大上理不獨存。而云長生不死之大法者。此言為妄說耳。又云。玉京之山在眾山之上災所不及者。理合可疑。何者一切法悉皆無常。形色之類無有存者。玉京之山金臺玉闕。七寶所成。即為色界所攝。既屬色界。云何常耶。又云。赤明之歲歲在甲子。赤明之號拒可信乎。

Zhen Luan said mockingly: 'Since these true texts are on Mount Yujing where calamity does not reach, why do they also say that the spontaneous texts are born together and extinguished together with the cycles? Is the day of birth and extinction not a calamity? It also says: "My body constantly appears and disappears together with the Numinous Treasure." And it says: "I undergo birth and death following the kalpas." If we reckon the day when the cycle of the Numinous Treasure is extinguished, the Most High in principle cannot survive alone. Yet they call it the "great Dharma of longevity and immortality"; these words are merely false speech! Furthermore, it says that Mount Yujing is above all mountains, where calamity does not reach; in principle, this ought to be doubted. Why? All conditioned things are completely impermanent; among classes of forms and colors, none endure. Mount Yujing, with its golden terraces and jade towers made of the seven jewels, is subsumed within the form realm. Since it belongs to the form realm, how could it be eternal? It also says: "The year of Chiming was in the jiazi year." How can the designation of Chiming be believed?'
