大般涅槃經集解 7.134

7.134

案道生曰：耶設於常，中實已變，外以如本，而能惑於人，為酒糟也。既生常惑，無常尋起，為滑草也。所說無實，為麥[麩-夫+戈]也。僧亮曰，乳功在乎善養，解我亦由乎說者，無以惑心說我，行則成倒也。酒糟滑草者，釋口易下，入腹為患。我見則附情易安，則為病也。我見有名無實，喻如麥[麩-夫+戈]，空無實也。法瑤曰：牛者，譬佛菩薩也。既以乳譬常教，今以乳從牛出，是則常教，由佛菩薩說也。糟無真味，人之所惡，以況耶說樂淨之法，其實是苦、實不淨也。常倒者，謂湛然不易，而實無時暫停，喻滑草也。麥[麩-夫+戈]內空，以譬無我也。僧宗曰：酒糟者，食則醉亂；懷相在心，則迷真法也。滑草者，其體性利，噉則傷中，譬之利使也。麥[麩-夫+戈]無味，喻浮澹之心，不得理味也。寶亮曰：酒糟麥[麩-夫+戈]本是虛秏之物，以譬斷見。滑草乃一往悅情，喻如著相說常見也。

Daosheng comments: "Heretics posit permanence; inside it has actually changed, but outwardly it resembles the original and can delude people—this is the distillers' grains. Once the delusion of permanence arises, impermanence immediately follows—this is the slippery grass. What they preach lacks reality—this is the wheat bran." Sengliang comments: "The efficacy of milk lies in proper nourishment; understanding the self likewise depends on the speaker. Do not speak of the self with a deluded mind, for acting upon it leads to inversion. Distillers' grains and slippery grass easily go down the mouth, but once entering the belly they cause distress. The view of self conforms to passions and brings easy complacency, thus becoming an illness. The view of self has a name but no reality, like wheat bran, which is hollow and devoid of substance." Fayao comments: "The cow symbolizes the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Having already used milk to symbolize the teaching of permanence, now milk comes forth from the cow; thus the teaching of permanence is proclaimed by the Buddhas and bodhisattvas. Distillers' grains lack true flavor and are loathed by people; this illustrates the heretical teachings of bliss and purity, which in reality are suffering and impurity. The inversion of permanence means holding it to be calm and unchanging, whereas in truth it never ceases for an instant—this is symbolized by the slippery grass. Wheat bran is hollow inside, symbolizing non-self." Sengzong comments: "As for distillers' grains, consuming them causes drunken confusion; holding signs within the mind leads one to be confused about true phenomena. Slippery grass is sharp by nature; eating it harms the internals, symbolizing the sharp afflictive propensities. Wheat bran is flavorless, symbolizing a superficial, bland mind that fails to grasp the flavor of principle." Baoliang comments: "Distillers' grains and wheat bran are fundamentally wasteful, hollow items, symbolizing the view of annihilation. Slippery grass pleases the feelings only for a moment, symbolizing preaching the view of permanence while grasping at characteristics."
