一行禪師慧語

「無常」是在時間的視角看本相；「無我」是在空間的視角看本相。它們是本相的兩面。「無我」是「無常」的呈現；「無常」是「無我」的呈現。既然物件是無常，它們便沒有分別的「我」；既然物件沒有分別的「我」，它們便是無常。「無常」指無時無刻不斷變化。這就是真相。

Impermanence is looking at reality from the point of veiw of time. No self is looking at reality from the point of view of space. They are two sides of reality. No self is a manifestation of impermanence, and impermanence is a menifestation of no self. If things are impermanent, they are without a separate self. If things are without a separate self, they are impermanent. Impermanence means being transformed at every moment. This is reality.
