大般涅槃經集解 14.22

14.22

案僧亮曰：本末釋之。貪是結本，相名貪境也。貪與所貪，繫縛三有，一切煩惱由之而起，故生死之數因果無窮。永斷貪故，次第而滅，一切解脫。

Sengliang states: This is explained in terms of root and branches. Greed is the root of the fetters; marks are called the sphere of greed. Greed and that which is coveted bind one to the three realms of existence, and all afflictions arise from them; therefore, the reckoning of birth-and-death has cause and effect without end. Because greed is permanently cut off, they are progressively extinguished, and everything is vimokṣa.
