大般涅槃經義記 5.37

5.37

In refuting the experiencing mind, 'and in what place does this greed arise?' refutes and separates from pleasant feeling—pleasure accompanies greed, and if there is no place where greed arises, there is also no pleasure. From 'if one is reviled' downward refutes and separates from unpleasant feeling—suffering accompanies anger, and if there is no place where anger arises, there is also no suffering. Therein, there are two: first, refuting anger with respect to revilement, with three distinct clauses: first, contemplating the emptiness of persons, and thereby being able to refute anger—'if one is reviled, in what place does anger arise?' [shows that] the reviling person is empty, and 'yet this body of mine consists of the thirty-six things, impure and foul' and so on [shows that] the reviled person is empty; second, contemplating the emptiness of dharmas, and thereby being able to refute anger—'if hearing the revilement, one immediately contemplates what sound constitutes the revilement' investigates as a whole, while 'individual sounds cannot revile' and so on explains separately that there is no revilement, for when broken down into subtle parts moment by moment, the meaning of speech is not formed, and therefore it cannot revile; third, from 'by this meaning' downward concludes as a whole that it is inappropriate—due to the preceding two meanings, one should not become angry. Second, refuting anger with respect to being struck, with two parts: first, contemplating that this striking occurs due to having a self and a body, one should not be angry at others, wherein there is first the Dharma, next a simile, and then the application. Within the Dharma, it first reflects on where striking arises from, next knows it is due to hands, knives, staves, and one's own body, and from 'I now' downward uses principle to restrain oneself, [knowing] one should not be angry at others; second, from 'if I do not endure, my mind will be scattered' downward fears increasing future suffering, which is why one must endure, wherein there are five clauses.
