釋摩訶衍論 6.23

6.23

論曰：即此文中自有四門。云何為四？一者顯示根本總相門、二者顯示人見對治門、三者顯示法見對治門、四者顯示俱非絕離門，是名為四。言顯示根本總相門者，無量無邊過恒沙數一切邪道，無量無邊過恒沙數一切定執，皆以我見為自所依，出生增長，更無有餘為此邪執作根本故。是故無明住地無邊際契經中作如是說：一切無量種種虛妄邪論之海，以我見岳為依而轉。譬如一切無量無邊種種林樹、種種草木，皆悉以山為依而轉故。如本對治邪執者一切邪執皆依我見，若離於我則無邪執。是我見有二種。云何為二？一者人我見、二者法我見故。

The commentary says: Within this text there are naturally four aspects. What are the four? The first is the aspect of revealing the fundamental general characteristic; the second is the aspect of revealing the remedy for the view of persons; the third is the aspect of revealing the remedy for the view of dharmas; the fourth is the aspect of revealing the absolute transcendence of both negations. These are called the four. As for the aspect of revealing the fundamental general characteristic: all erroneous paths, boundless and limitless, exceeding the sands of the Ganges, and all fixed attachments, boundless and limitless, exceeding the sands of the Ganges, all take the view of self as their basis, from which they arise and increase; there is nothing else that serves as the root for these erroneous attachments. Therefore, it is said in the Avidyāvāsabhūmyananta Sūtra: 'The ocean of all boundless, various false and erroneous treatises rolls on reliant upon the mountain peak of the view of self. Just as all boundless, limitless various forests, trees, and various grasses and plants all roll on reliant upon a mountain.' As the basic text states: 'Remedying erroneous attachments: all erroneous attachments rely on the view of self; if one is free from the self, then there are no erroneous attachments. This view of self is of two kinds. What are the two? The first is the view of the self of persons; the second is the view of the self of dharmas.'
