新華嚴經論 26.4

26.4

In the third section there are seven and a half lines of the sūtra, which explain that all things in the triple realm are mind-only. It explains that the twelve limbs of existence arise from the one mind: because of craving in accordance with things, which deludes the true mind, the false mind arises as perception; when the perceiving mind departs from wisdom, it falsely discriminates as consciousness; that which the false mind discriminates is consciousness; and cognizing sense-objects is karmic formations. 'Being deluded regarding karmic formations' refers to the cognized sense-objects: claiming that they truly exist is called fundamental ignorance. Because the mind has fundamental ignorance, it generates name-and-form. From the harmonious combination of the three factors—name-and-form, the six sense organs, and the false mind—contact arises; when contact is directly accompanied by discrimination and grasping, it is sensation; the remainder is fully detailed in the sūtra itself. From this onward, mind and objects, the six sense organs, contact, sensation, craving, grasping, becoming, and birth, aging, and death are of one simultaneous moment; they have no essence of prior and posterior, yet one falsely constructs prior and posterior. Deluded regarding the Tathāgata's principle and wisdom, which are originally uncreated, beings proliferate various sufferings, and the waves of the stream of suffering flow without ceasing.
