金剛般若經疏論纂要 1.198

1.198

論云「寶施福德是煩惱因，以能成就煩惱事故。地塵無記，非煩惱因，故塵勝施劣。」大雲云：「故諸地塵則非貪等煩惱塵，是名無記地塵。」如來說三千界非煩惱染因，界是名地塵。無記界是則界為塵，因塵不生煩惱。施為福因，福生煩惱。

The commentary says: "The merit of giving treasures is a cause of afflictions, because it can accomplish matters of affliction. Earth dust is indeterminate and not a cause of afflictions; hence dust is superior and generosity is inferior." *Dayun* says: "Therefore, motes of earth dust are not the dust of afflictions such as greed; they are named indeterminate earth dust." The Tathāgata preaches that the three thousand worlds are not causes of defilement by afflictions; worlds are named earth dust. If an indeterminate world is so, then worlds are dust, and because of dust, afflictions do not arise. Generosity is the cause of merit, and merit produces afflictions.
