妙法蓮華經文句 1.95

1.95

「諸漏已盡，無復煩惱」，此兩句歎上殺賊。漏者三漏也，《成論》云：「失道故名漏。」律云：「癡人造業，開諸漏門。」毘曇云：「漏落生死。」論、律語異而同明漏義。良由賊誑失於理寶，貧窮孤露造諸惡業、致生死苦，亡法身、失慧命、喪重寶，皆是賊義。不應謂是不生義歎德也。煩惱者，即九十八使，流扼纏蓋等逼惱行人。煩惱是能潤，漏業是所潤，能所既盡，正是殺賊義，那得作不生歎耶？

‘All outflows being already exhausted, with no further afflictions’: these two phrases praise the above ‘slayer of foes.’ ‘Outflows’ refers to the three outflows. The Tattvasiddhi-śāstra says: ‘Losing the Way is therefore called outflowing.’ The Vinaya says: ‘A foolish person commits karma, opening all doors of outflow.’ The Abhidharma says: ‘Outflowing and falling into birth and death.’ The treatises and vinaya differ in phrasing but identically clarify the meaning of outflows. Truly, because the foe deceives them, they lose the treasure of principle; being impoverished, destitute, and exposed, they commit various evil karmas and incur the suffering of birth and death, losing the Dharma-body, forfeiting the life of wisdom, and perishing the precious treasure—all of which are the meaning of ‘foe.’ One should not consider this a virtue praising the meaning of ‘unborn.’ ‘Afflictions’ refers to the ninety-eight latent proclivities, flows, bonds, entanglements, hindrances, and so on, which torment practitioners. Affliction is that which can moisten [karma], and outflow karma is that which is moistened; when both that which can moisten and that which is moistened are exhausted, this is precisely the meaning of ‘slayer of foes.’ How could it be taken as praising ‘unborn’?
