釋摩訶衍論 4.51

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.4.51)

譬如巨海浪，斯由猛風起，  
洪波鼓溟壑，無有斷絕時。  
藏識海常住，境界風所動，  
種種諸識浪，騰躍而轉生。  
青赤種種色，珂乳及石蜜，  
淡味眾華果。日月與光明，  
非異非不異，海水起波浪，  
七識亦如是，心俱和合生。  
譬如海水變，種種波浪轉，  
七識亦如是，心俱和合生，  
謂彼藏識處，種種諸識轉，  
謂以彼意識，思惟諸相義。  
不壞相有八，無相亦無相。

> Just as waves on the great ocean  
> Arise because of fierce winds,  
> Great billows surge in the deep abyss  
> Without ever a moment of cessation,  
> The ocean of the storehouse consciousness is permanently abiding;  
> Stirred by the winds of the objective realm,  
> The waves of various consciousnesses  
> Leap up and are born transforming.  
> Blue, red, and various colors,  
> Conch pearls, milk, and candied sugar,  
> Bland flavors, various flowers and fruits,  
> The sun, the moon, and radiant light,  
> Are neither different nor non-different.  
> As the ocean water gives rise to waves,  
> The seven consciousnesses are also like this,  
> Born arising in conjunction with the mind.  
> Just as the ocean water transforms  
> And various waves turn,  
> The seven consciousnesses are also like this,  
> Born arising in conjunction with the mind.  
> Namely, at the place of that storehouse consciousness,  
> Various consciousnesses turn,  
> Namely, through that mental consciousness,  
> Reflecting upon the meanings of various characteristics.  
> The eight are non-destructible characteristics;  
> They are without characteristics, and also without absence of characteristics.
