大般涅槃經集解 46.46

46.46

案道生曰：第四句也。無漏於有漏為他，若有生他之能，亦應有能生無漏之能也。僧宗曰：十地無漏，非不發始從緣，當不據此為言也，乃是神明妙體者耳。此妙體絕於有無，不從因生，豈非知善耶？

Daosheng notes: This is the fourth proposition. The undefiled is other with respect to the defiled; if it has the capacity to produce others, it should also have the capacity to produce the undefiled. Sengzong notes: The undefiled of the ten stages is not without arising through conditions, but this is not spoken with reference to that; it is rather the wondrous essence of spiritual illumination. This wondrous essence transcends existence and non-existence, and is not produced from causes; how could it not know the good?
