釋摩訶衍論 2.65

2.65

已說下轉門，次說上轉門。若欲成立此上轉門，更應安置經本之辭。所謂楞伽王契經中作如是說：爾時世尊告大眾言：「諸佛子！我念往昔，於出時中我來依他，於入時中他來依我故。」此經文明何義？謂顯示二轉故。云何顯示？謂於出時中我來依他者，即是下轉。於入時中他來依我者，即是上轉。此義云何？我謂則是真如本覺如來藏佛故，來謂受熏之義故，依他者背自本覺依無明他故。依此經文作解釋故，是故說言不生不滅與生滅和合則是下轉門。若欲成立上轉門者，可言生滅與不生不滅和合。以此義故玄理論中則存斯詞。馬鳴菩薩本阿世耶，比來次第分明顯了，舉一兼一影示而已，是故無有闕失過咎。上轉門義，於對治分其理自明。已說上轉門，次說該攝安立門。諸識差別其數幾有？何等契經中各說幾種識？頌曰：

The gate of downward turning has been explained; next, the gate of upward turning is explained. If one wishes to establish this gate of upward turning, one should further set forth the words of the sūtra text. Namely, in the King of Laṅkā Sūtra, it is spoken thus: At that time, the World-Honoured One addressed the great assembly, saying: "O sons of the Buddha! I recall the past: at the time of going out, I came to rely on the other; at the time of entering, the other came to rely on me." What meaning does this sūtra passage clarify? It shows the two turnings. How does it show this? "At the time of going out, I came to rely on the other" is the downward turning. "At the time of entering, the other came to rely on me" is the upward turning. What is the meaning of this? "I" refers to the Buddha of the tathāgatagarbha, the original awakening of tathatā; "came" has the meaning of receiving perfuming; "rely on the other" means turning away from one's own original awakening to rely on the other of ignorance. Because the explanation is made relying on this sūtra passage, it is therefore said that what is neither arising nor ceasing combining with arising and ceasing is the gate of downward turning. If one wishes to establish the gate of upward turning, one may say that arising and ceasing combines with what is neither arising nor ceasing. For this reason, these words are preserved in the profound theoretical treatise. Bodhisattva Aśvaghoṣa's original āśaya has always been distinct and clear in its sequence, merely indicating by mentioning one to encompass the other; therefore there is no fault of omission. The meaning of the gate of upward turning will naturally become clear in the section on antidotes. The gate of upward turning has been explained; next, the gate of comprehensive subsumption and establishment is explained. How many are the distinctions of the consciousnesses in number? In which sūtras are how many kinds of consciousnesses respectively spoken? A verse says:
