1.57

一、世界悉檀者,即是眾生五陰、十二入、十八界,一切諸法名相隔別不同,故名世界。外人迷此世界,或計無因緣有世界,或計邪因緣有世界。大聖隨眾生所欲樂聞,為說「正因緣世界之法」,令眾生得世間正見,即是世間法施,故名世界悉檀也。

1. The worldly siddhānta: This refers to sentient beings' five aggregates, twelve sense bases, and eighteen elements, wherein the names and characteristics of all dharmas are distinct and differentiated; hence it is called 'worldly'. Non-Buddhists are deluded regarding this world, positing either that the world exists without causes and conditions, or that the world exists through perverse causes and conditions. Accommodating what sentient beings desire and delight to hear, the Great Sage expounds for them the 'dharmas of the world of correct causes and conditions', enabling sentient beings to attain mundane right view. This is the gift of mundane dharma; hence it is called the worldly siddhānta.
