大般涅槃經義記 7.397

7.397

自下問答重顯向前心解脫義。何故須顯？心定有貪則不可脫，心定無貪則不須脫，性無相有方有脫義，故須重辯。德王先問，「如佛所說心脫不然」牒以總非，「何以故」下廣顯非義。先徵非意，下對顯之，文別有三：一約真心，明本無貪，難無解脫；二「貪亦有」下約就妄心，明本有貪，難無解脫；三「心不定」下明心及貪、人及境界一切不定，難無解脫。三毒之中，約貪設難，餘類可知。

From here below, through question and answer it re-elucidates the preceding meaning of liberation of mind. Why must it be elucidated? If the mind definitely has greed, it cannot be liberated; if the mind definitely has no greed, it does not need to be liberated; only when it is non-existent in nature yet existent in characteristics is there the meaning of liberation, hence it must be explained again. Virtuous King first asks: "As the Buddha stated, liberation of mind is not so," citing it to negate it generally; the passage beginning with "why is that?" extensively illuminates the meaning of negation. First he investigates the intention of negation, and below he demonstrates it in response; the text contains three distinct parts: first, based on the true mind, clarifying that it originally lacks greed, objecting that there is no liberation; second, from "greed also exists" onward, based on the deluded mind, clarifying that it originally has greed, objecting that there is no liberation; third, from "the mind is not fixed" onward, clarifying that the mind and greed, person and objects are all unfixed, objecting that there is no liberation. Among the three poisons, he sets up objections based on greed; the rest may be understood by analogy.
