仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.584

2.584

Exposition: Regarding 'When a bodhisattva has not yet attained buddhahood', etc.: this has two meanings. One says: kleśa and bodhi mutually have superiority and inferiority; as in the stage of ordinary beings, kleśas are manifest and increasing while seeds of bodhi are inferior; in the stages of the noble ones, bodhi is manifest and increasing while seeds of kleśa are inferior. In the former stage it is spoken of as kleśa, and in the latter stage it is spoken of as bodhi, because they are spoken of as two according to attainment and non-attainment. Another says: the nature of kleśa and bodhi is non-dual; in the stage of conforming to defilement, the bodhi of defiled nature stirs to become kleśa; in the stage of pure nature, the false extinction of kleśa is precisely bodhi. Although defilement and purity differ, their nature is not different. From here, the second part inquires into the reason.
