No. 880-A物不遷論辯解題辭
常人即不遷見流動。智者即流動見不遷。故曰人之所謂動者以昔物不至今。吾之所謂靜者亦以昔物不至今。而或者駁之。謂肇公立昔有今無。為斷常遷滅之法。是大不然。甞為之頌曰。昔自在昔。昔非來今。自在今。今不往昔。今非往亦非來。以是知法相常住。或者執藥成病。刻舟求劒。不慧甚矣。幻居界公物不遷解之所由出也。日照四天下本無次第。而方位湛然。智者作日軌察之。愚者倒操日軌方位亦倒。界公之解。其操日軌之法與。乃刻而流通之。

"An Explanation of the Treatise on the Non-Migration of Things" by the late Ming dynasty eminent monk Zhenjie is an authoritative commentary on the Eastern Jin monk Sengzhao's "Treatise on the Non-Migration of Things." This work emerged during the late Ming period, a time of revival in Buddhist doctrinal studies. It primarily addresses the attachment of the Hinayana tradition and worldly views to movement and change, elucidating the Prajna emptiness philosophy of "stillness within motion" and "nature abiding in a single moment." It demonstrates the truth that all phenomena arise and cease instantaneously without undergoing migration. As a significant interpretation of the core Madhyamaka text "Zhao Lun," it deepens the ontological exploration of time, space, and movement in Buddhism. Holding an important place in the history of Chinese Buddhist philosophy, it is a key text for studying the evolution of Chinese Buddhist thought.
