60.41

疏「或悔先所修」者,謂解追悔不能修習觀行對治,但生追悔以擾於心。故《淨名》令慰喻有疾菩薩云「說悔先罪,而不說入於過去。」二疏「或起惡見」者,謂或平生曾修少善、造罪至多,臨終惡報,撥善無益,名為惡見。

Regarding the Commentary's 'or regretting what was previously cultivated': this means that feeling regret without being able to cultivate contemplative practice as a remedy merely gives rise to regret that disturbs one's mind. Therefore, the *Vimalakīrti* comforts sick bodhisattvas by saying, 'Speak of regretting prior sins, but do not speak of dwelling in the past.' Second, regarding the Commentary's 'or giving rise to evil views': this means having cultivated a little goodness during one's lifetime but having committed very many sins, and when facing evil retribution at death, repudiating goodness as useless; this is termed 'evil views'.
