梁朝傅大士頌金剛經 1.168

1.168

爾時慧命須菩提白佛言。世尊。頗有眾生。於未來世聞說是法生信心不。佛言。須菩提。彼非眾生非不眾生。何以故。須菩提。眾生眾生者。如來說非眾生。是名眾生。

At that time, the Venerable Subhūti said to the Buddha, "Bhagavat, will there be any sentient beings in future ages who, hearing this Dharma expounded, will generate faith?" / The Buddha said, "Subhūti, they are neither sentient beings nor non-sentient beings. Why is this? Subhūti, what are called sentient beings, sentient beings, the Tathāgata explains are not sentient beings; these are called sentient beings."
