妙法蓮華經玄義 2.116

2.116

三、不思議生滅因緣者，破小明大，為利鈍兩緣說界外法也。《華嚴》云：「心如工畫師，作種種五陰。一切世間中，莫不從心造。」畫師，即無明心也。一切世間，即是十法界假實國土等也。諸論明心出一切法不同，或言：阿黎耶是真識，出一切法。或言：阿黎耶是無沒識，無記無明出一切法。若定執性實，墮冥初生覺、從覺生我心過。尚不成界內思議因緣，豈得成界外不思議因緣？惑既非不思議境，翻惑之解，豈得成不思議智？破此，如《止觀》中說。今明無明之心，不自、不他、不共、不無因，四句皆不可思議。若有四悉檀因緣，亦可得說：如四句求夢不可得，而說夢中見一切事；四句求無明不可得，而從無明出界內外一切法。

Third, regarding the inconceivable arising and ceasing of conditioned arising: this refutes the lesser and clarifies the greater, expounding for those of both sharp and dull capacities the phenomena outside the realms. The Avataṃsaka states: "The mind is like an accomplished painter, producing the various five aggregates. Throughout all the worlds, there is nothing that is not created from the mind." The "painter" is the mind of ignorance. "All the worlds" refers to the provisional, real, and land [categories] of the ten dharma realms. The treatises differ in their explanations of how the mind gives rise to all phenomena. Some say that the ālaya[-vijñāna] is the true consciousness, giving rise to all phenomena. Others say that the ālaya is the non-disappearing consciousness, an indeterminate ignorance that gives rise to all phenomena. If one fixedly grasps [its] nature as real, one falls into the error that primordial darkness first generates awareness, and from awareness arises the conceited mind. One would not even establish the conceivable conditioned arising within the realms, so how could one establish the inconceivable conditioned arising outside the realms? If the delusion is not the inconceivable object, how could the understanding that overturns delusion become inconceivable wisdom? The refutation of this is as explained in the Zhiguan. Here we clarify that the mind of ignorance is not from self, not from other, not from both, and not without cause; all four propositions are inconceivable. If there are causes and conditions of the four siddhāntas, it may also be explained: just as seeking a dream through the four propositions finds nothing attainable, yet within a dream one is said to see all things, so too, seeking ignorance through the four propositions finds nothing attainable, yet from ignorance arise all phenomena within and outside the realms.
