釋摩訶衍論 4.46

4.46

The root text says: 'Furthermore, by relying on non-awakening, three kinds of characteristics are produced, which are associated with and not apart from that non-awakening. What are the three? First is the characteristic of the karma of avidyā: because of relying on non-awakening, the mind moves, which is termed karma. When there is awakening, there is no movement; when there is movement, there is suffering, for the fruit is not apart from the cause. Second is the characteristic of the perceiver: because of relying on movement, there is perception; without movement, there is no perception. Third is the characteristic of the objective realm: because of relying on the perceiver, the objective realm falsely manifests; apart from perception, there is no objective realm.'
