勝鬘寶窟 3.15

3.15

第七料簡門。問：四諦中道與菩提道何異？答：莫問大小乘，四諦中道名為因道，即是無常。故云「集諦為因，苦諦為果。道諦為因，滅諦為果。」無上菩提，謂果道也，即是常住。問：《大品》云「菩提即是道，道即是菩提。」此明何義？答：菩提者，即是無上菩提果也。道者，謂因道也。此欲明因果不二，所以言即。但名字之中，菩提據外國音、道就此間說。前無漏業，因無明為緣，生三種意生身。此則無漏屬集諦，今復用何為道諦耶？答：三乘無漏凡有二義。一為無明潤牽生之義，名之為集；即無漏有進趣斷惑之功，說之為道。

Seventh is the section on critical evaluation. Question: What is the difference between the path among the four truths and the path of bodhi? Answer: Regardless of Mahāyāna or Hīnayāna, the path among the four truths is called the causal path, which is impermanent. Hence it is said: "The truth of origination is the cause, and the truth of suffering is the fruit. The truth of the path is the cause, and the truth of cessation is the fruit." Unexcelled bodhi refers to the fruitional path, which is permanently abiding. Question: The *Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā* says: "Bodhi is the path, and the path is bodhi." What meaning does this clarify? Answer: "Bodhi" is the fruit of unexcelled bodhi. "The path" refers to the causal path. This intends to clarify the non-duality of cause and fruit; hence it says "is." However, among the designations, "bodhi" is based on the foreign pronunciation, while "path" is expressed in the terms of this land. Previously, undefiled karma, with ignorance as condition, produces three kinds of mind-made bodies. In that case, the undefiled belongs to the truth of origination; what then is now used as the truth of the path? Answer: The undefiled of the three vehicles has two meanings in total. First, with respect to the meaning of being moistened by ignorance and dragging forth rebirth, it is called origination; yet that undefiled has the efficacy of advancing toward the severing of afflictions, and is spoken of as the path.
