金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 1.36

1.36

The fourth section expands upon the text of "subjugating their mind" above. That is, through what follows "without abiding in things," the conceptual grasping mind that has been relinquished does not arise, which is called subjugation. Question: Why are practice and so forth explained specifically in terms of the pāramitā of giving? Answer: Giving is the foremost starting point of a bodhisattva's practice; if this one is purified, the remaining pāramitās are easy to understand. Furthermore, the pāramitā of giving can subsume the six. Hence Vasubandhu's Commentary says: "The pāramitā of giving subsumes the six: material resources, fearlessness, and the Dharma; here, one, two, and three are called the abiding of practice." The detailed explanation is as in the Commentary, for the sake of this meaning.
