華嚴經探玄記 13.38

13.38

Fourth, regarding the differentiation in terms of great wisdom, the treatise calls it the 'contemplation of entering the truths.' Because the three paths are the noble truths of suffering and origination, they are dharmas known by great wisdom. The Yogācārabhūmi states: 'How many links are subsumed under the truth of suffering and are suffering in the present life? Answer: Two, namely birth and aging-and-death. Question: How many links are subsumed under the truth of suffering and will become suffering in the future? Answer: Five, namely the nature of seeds from consciousness up to sensation. Question: How many links are subsumed under the truth of origination? Answer: The remaining links.' Explanation: The five future causes and two fruits are both the truth of suffering; the five of affliction and karma are subsumed under the truth of origination. Furthermore, the eighth fascicle of the Cheng weishi lun says: 'All are subsumed under the truth of suffering, because they are of the nature of the appropriated aggregates (upādāna-skandha). Five are subsumed under the truth of origination, because they are of the nature of karma and affliction.' Explanation: Thus the truth of suffering subsumes the twelve because they are of the nature of the appropriated aggregates; the truth of origination subsumes only five, as can be understood.
