1.331

"'The Dharma is without a person, because the limits of before and after are cut off.'" [Seng]zhao said: "Heaven gives birth to the ten thousand things and regards humanity as noble; what does not change from beginning to end is called a 'person'. Therefore tīrthikas call the spirit a 'person', considering it unchanging from beginning to end. If the limits of before and after in phenomena are cut off, then moment by moment they are distinct; if moment by moment they are distinct, then there is nothing unchanging; if there is nothing unchanging, then there is no longer a person."
