釋摩訶衍論 3.5

3.5

論曰：於此文中即有二門。云何為二？一者略說本覺安立門、二者略說始覺安立門。本覺門中即有二門。云何為二？一者清淨本覺門、二者染淨本覺門。始覺門中又有二門。云何為二？一者清淨始覺門、二者染淨始覺門。云何名為清淨本覺？本有法身從無始來，具足圓滿過恒沙德常明淨故。云何名為染淨本覺？自性淨心受無明熏，流轉生死無斷絕故。云何名為清淨始覺？無漏性智出離一切無量無明，不受一切無明熏故。云何名為染淨始覺？始覺般若受無明熏不能離故。如是諸覺皆智眷屬。當證何理以為體分？謂性真如及虛空理。如是二理各有幾種？各有二故。云何名為二種真如？一者清淨真如、二者染淨真如。虛空之理亦復如是。云何名為清淨真如？二種淨覺所證真如，離熏習故。云何名為染淨真如？二種染淨覺所證真如，不離熏故。虛空之理亦復如是。以何義故強名本覺？字事差別其相云何？頌曰：

The commentary states: In this text there are two gates. What are the two? First is the gate of briefly explaining the establishment of original awakening; second is the gate of briefly explaining the establishment of initial awakening. Within the gate of original awakening, there are two gates. What are the two? First is the gate of pure original awakening; second is the gate of defiled-and-pure original awakening. Within the gate of initial awakening, there are also two gates. What are the two? First is the gate of pure initial awakening; second is the gate of defiled-and-pure initial awakening. What is called pure original awakening? The innately existent dharmakāya, from beginningless time, is fully and completely endowed with merits exceeding the sands of the Ganges, and is constantly bright and pure. What is called defiled-and-pure original awakening? The intrinsically pure mind receives the perfuming of avidyā, transmigrating through birth-and-death without interruption. What is called pure initial awakening? The untainted wisdom of nature departs from all immeasurable avidyā and does not receive the perfuming of any avidyā. What is called defiled-and-pure initial awakening? The initial-awakening prajñā receives the perfuming of avidyā and cannot depart from it. All such awakenings are the retinue of wisdom. What principle do they realise as their essential part? It is the principle of the tathatā of nature and of space. How many kinds are there of these two principles? There are two kinds of each. What are the two kinds of tathatā? First is pure tathatā; second is defiled-and-pure tathatā. The principle of space is also like this. What is called pure tathatā? The tathatā realised by the two kinds of pure awakening, because it is free from perfuming. What is called defiled-and-pure tathatā? The tathatā realised by the two kinds of defiled-and-pure awakening, because it is not separated from perfuming. The principle of space is also like this. For what reason is it provisionally named original awakening? What are the characteristics of the differences in words and matters? The verse states:
