大般涅槃經集解 54.125

54.125

案道生曰：背道非實，名為凡夫，凡夫故為下也。僧亮曰：以其沈淪之義，㳂流為下也。僧宗曰：既言謬計，何得言善？今取為緣因者，以其伏結、修六行，攝心於禪道耳。此乃非勝道，要有善義，故不得不取也。寶亮曰：凡夫一向居苦，但有正因也。

Daosheng states: Turning away from the path and being non-genuine is called an ordinary person; because they are ordinary persons, they are inferior. Sengliang states: By their sinking down, drifting with the current, they are inferior. Sengzong states: Since it is called an erroneous conception, how can it be called good? Here, taking it as a contributory cause is because it suppresses afflictions, cultivates the six practices, and gathers the mind into the path of dhyāna. Although this is not the superior path, it necessarily contains the sense of goodness, so it cannot but be included. Baoliang states: Ordinary persons consistently dwell in suffering and have only the direct cause.
