仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經 1.48

1.48

"Good sons! The nature of all sentient beings is without birth or cessation; they exist through the aggregation of dharmas, like an illusion or transformation. The characteristics of the aggregates, realms, and bases are without combination or dispersal; dharmas are identical to the dharmatā, quiescent and empty. All sentient beings are inherently pure; all actions they perform are without bondage and without release, neither cause nor effect, yet not non-cause and non-effect. The afflictions of experiencing various sufferings, the grasping at the characteristics of self, of person, of knower, of seer, and of experiencer—all are empty. The objective realm of dharmas is empty: empty, signless, and wishless, neither conforming to distortion nor conforming to illusion, without the characteristics of the six destinies, without the characteristics of the four modes of birth, without the characteristics of holy persons, and without the characteristics of the Three Jewels, just like empty space.
