大乘起信論略述 1.65

論。所言空至妄心念故。述曰。次下第三依章廣釋。於中有二。先明其空後顯不空。初中有三。初略明。次廣釋。後總結。此初也。初句顯其非染相應以釋空義。一切染法不相應故。故名為空。云何染法不相應邪。次句釋云。謂離差別所取相故。何故離此所取相邪。後句釋云。以無能取妄心念故。即妄心境情有理無。真如體相理有情無。故與染法不相應也。

Treatise: "That which is called empty […] the deluded mind's thoughts." Commentary: Next below is the third [part], broadly explaining according to the headings. Here there are two: first, making clear its emptiness; second, revealing the not empty. In the first there are three: first, a brief clarification; next, a broad explanation; finally, a general conclusion. This is the first. The first clause reveals its non-concordance with defilements to explain the meaning of emptiness. Because it does not concord with all defiled phenomena, it is called empty. How does it not concord with defiled phenomena? The next clause explains: that is to say, it is free from the attributes of the grasped differentiated objects. Why is it free from these grasped attributes? The final clause explains: because there are no deluded thoughts of a grasping mind. That is, the objective realms of the deluded mind exist in sentiment but are absent in principle; the essence and attributes of suchness exist in principle but are absent in sentiment. Therefore, it does not concord with defiled phenomena.
