大般涅槃經集解 11.41

11.41

案道生曰：病有二種，謂從意從想。愜情而之，謂之從意。所貪無崖，謂之從想。是以小制損其意也，都制損其想也。僧亮曰：除其貪意，長其慈也。法瑤曰：夫易得者，遇見而生意；難得者，恒想而欲之。是以聽食三種淨肉，三不淨意自亦消矣。而三種淨者，以難得故，想而欲之，次斷十種之中三種淨者復不得食，於十想斷矣。唯想十種之外三種淨者，逾難得故，而想之逾染也。今悉斷故，一切眾想無復生處，故一切想斷矣。寶亮曰：若使於資身之具損害處甚者，佛便斷之。若於事用小復疎者，佛便且開也。眾生有虛偽果報，要須所資，若一向頓斷，則為形不立也。智秀曰：異想異意，互辭耳。言異彼惡意也。

Daosheng comments: Afflictions are of two kinds: arising from intention and arising from conception. Pursuing what pleases one's feelings is called 'arising from intention.' What one craves having no limit is called 'arising from conception.' Therefore, a minor prohibition curbs one's intention, whereas a total prohibition curbs one's conception. Sengliang says: It removes their intention of greed and nourishes their compassion. Fayao says: What is easily obtained gives rise to an intention upon encountering it; what is difficult to obtain is constantly conceptualized and desired. Therefore, when permitted to eat the three pure kinds of meat, the intention toward the three impure kinds naturally dissolved. But regarding the three pure kinds, because they were difficult to obtain, people conceptualized and desired them; next, when among the ten kinds the three pure kinds were further prohibited from being eaten, conception toward the ten was severed. They conceptualized only the three pure kinds outside the ten, and because these were even more difficult to obtain, their conceptualizing became even more defiled. Now that all are severed, there is no longer any place for any conception to arise; hence all conceptions are severed. Baoliang says: If [the use of] provisions for the body causes severe harm, the Buddha prohibits it. If its practical use involves lesser and more distant [harm], the Buddha provisionally permits it. Sentient beings have illusory karmic retributions and necessarily require sustenance; if he severed everything all at once, their physical form could not be maintained. Zhixiu says: 'Different conceptions' and 'different purposes' are interchangeable expressions. It means being different from those evil intentions.
