金剛三昧經論 2.187

2.187

論曰：此是第四無住勝利。於中有二：先領上說、後顯無住。領中二句：先領不離三佛之句。果滿足德佛者，始覺究竟萬德圓滿故。如來藏佛者，一切眾生本來本覺故。形像佛者，金銅泥木能表尊像故，因果理事無所遺故。入三聚戒不住其相者，是領前戒性等空之句，入戒四緣，不著戒相故。三聚四緣，後品當說。自下正顯無住勝利。雖復入三空聚、滅三有心，而不住寂地，普涉六度。多喘眾生所居之處名不調地，由所留惑依不繫業，於彼受生故名為入。言留惑者，謂不速盡。如小乘人於三無數大劫時中漸次而斷，得菩提時方滅盡故。不謂金剛已還一向不斷，故名為留。

The commentary states: This is the fourth, the benefit of non-abiding. Within this, there are two: first, recapitulating the above explanation; second, revealing non-abiding. In the recapitulation there are two sentences: first, recapitulating the sentence on not parting from the three Buddhas. 'The Buddha of Fruition-Fulfilled Virtues' is because initial awakening is ultimate and the myriad virtues are perfected. 'The Tathāgatagarbha Buddha' is because all sentient beings are fundamentally innate awakening. 'The Image Buddha' is because gold, bronze, clay, and wood can represent the venerated image; thus, cause and fruit, principle and phenomena are entirely covered. 'Enters the three collections of precepts without abiding in their marks' recapitulates the previous sentence that 'the nature of the precepts is equal to emptiness'; entering the four conditions of precepts, one does not cling to the marks of precepts. The three collections and four conditions will be explained in a later chapter. From here below, it directly reveals the benefit of non-abiding. Although one further enters the accumulation of the three emptinesses and extinguishes the mind of the three existences, one does not abide in the quiescent ground, but universally wades through the six perfections. The place where sentient beings with many breaths dwell is called the untamed ground; due to retained afflictions and relying on unbonded karma, taking birth there is called 'entering.' Saying 'retained afflictions' means that they are not quickly exhausted. Just as persons of the Hinayāna sever them gradually during the period of three incalculable great kalpas and only completely extinguish them at the time of attaining bodhi, it does not mean that prior to the vajra[-like concentration] they are not severed at all; hence they are called 'retained.'
