2.25

橫渠曰。釋氏誣天地為幻妄。何不觀赤壁賦曰。自其變者而觀之。雖天地不能以一瞬。則天地之終。窮固出於蘇東坡之說也。豈獨釋氏有是言哉。

Hengqu said: "The Buddhists falsely accuse heaven and earth of being illusory." Why does he not look at the Rhapsody on the Red Cliff, which says: "Viewed from the perspective of their changing aspect, even heaven and earth cannot endure for a single instant"? Thus, that heaven and earth ultimately exhaust themselves indeed originated from Su Dongpo's statement; how could the Buddhists alone have maintained this?
