6.129

「觀解」者,前約事釋,多在斷見故云「撥無」等;今約觀釋,義通常見及以邪正,以佛弟子亦有修六行觀者,故今用之。若外人修多在計常,或計四禪乃至非想,為常故也。凡云觀解須順內故。又云「作不淨」等,此意亦以出聲為失,由觀故生如由撲故聲。「今不得起」者,復以絕聲為失釋也,故云不起。「豎入」等者,如六十二見雖有眾釋,多約三世,過去來今、從今入未,故名為豎。「橫遍」等者,如二十身見一陰四句,四句相望無復優劣,故名為橫。不修善法為此縱恣,所以不修非撥無也,雖不撥無亦名無慚。

Regarding "the contemplation interpretation": the earlier explanation in terms of affairs mostly rested on the view of annihilation, hence it was said "negate as non-existent," and so forth; now, the explanation in terms of contemplation encompasses both the view of permanence and what is erroneous or correct, for among the disciples of the Buddha there are also those who cultivate the contemplation of the six practices, and hence it is used here. If non-Buddhists cultivate it, they mostly rest on conceptualizing permanence, or they conceptualize the fourth dhyāna up to the state of neither-perception-nor-non-perception as permanent. Generally speaking, when stating the contemplation interpretation, it must accord with the internal [teaching]. Furthermore, regarding "performing the [contemplation of] impurity," and so forth: the meaning here also takes the emission of noise to be the fault; birth arises on account of contemplation, just as noise arises on account of throwing down. Regarding "now cannot arise": this again explains taking the cessation of noise to be the fault, hence it says "does not arise." Regarding "vertically entering," and so forth: although there are manifold explanations for the sixty-two views, they mostly concern the three periods of time—past, future, and present—entering from the present into the future, and hence it is called "vertical." Regarding "horizontally pervading," and so forth: as in the twenty views of the person, where there are four propositions for each aggregate, the four propositions are viewed in relation to one another without superiority or inferiority, and hence it is called "horizontal." Failing to cultivate wholesome dharmas is this very indulgence; the reason they do not cultivate is not that they negate them as non-existent. Although they do not negate them as non-existent, they are still called shameless.
