8.236

自下第二教見佛性，於中有三：一教見性、二「持戒比丘雖不願」下明所修行能相起發、三「師子言：若因持戒得不悔」下問答料簡。初中，行別有十四階，始從持戒乃至見性。戒中，得失相形顯之，凡有五對：一所為分別，先舉、次列、下顯得失。「為利持戒不見佛性及與如來」，為法能見。二淺深分別，先舉、次列、下辯其相。三就為自為他分別，先舉、次列、下顯得失。四自持他教相對分別，先舉次列下辯其相。五大小分別。先舉、次列、下辯其相、後顯得失。受聲聞戒不見佛性及與如來，受菩薩戒則能見之。

From here below, the second teaches how to see the buddha-nature, within which there are three parts: first, teaching how to see the nature; second, from "Although a precept-upholding monk does not wish..." onward, explaining that the cultivated practices are capable of giving rise to one another; third, from "Siṃha said: If relying on upholding precepts one attains non-regret..." onward, questions, answers, and analytical discrimination. In the first part, the practices specifically have fourteen stages, starting from upholding precepts up to seeing the nature. In precepts, gains and losses are manifested in contrast to each other, having five pairs in total: First, differentiation by purpose: first stating, next listing, and below showing gain and loss: "Upholding precepts for profit does not see the buddha-nature or the Tathāgata"; for the sake of the Dharma, one is able to see. Second, differentiation by shallow and deep: first stating, next listing, and below distinguishing their characteristics. Third, differentiation according to whether it is for oneself or for others: first stating, next listing, and below showing gain and loss. Fourth, contrasting self-upholding and being taught by others: first stating, next listing, and below distinguishing their characteristics. Fifth, differentiation by great and small: first stating, next listing, below distinguishing their characteristics, and finally showing gain and loss: receiving the śrāvaka precepts does not see the buddha-nature or the Tathāgata; receiving the bodhisattva precepts enables one to see them.
