維摩經略疏 6.119

6.119

問：實報若有四分因疾，亦有四大四苦果疾不？答：既有自體生死，豈無自體四大？故《大品》云「一切法趣地，乃至趣非趣，三大亦爾。」若自體四大四苦盡者，即是《大經》妙色湛然常安住，不為生死之所遷。若諸師謂法雲等覺無生死者，其如教何？又文云「從癡有愛則我病生」，若金剛等覺無明未盡，則有細微因果疾生。

Question: If True Retribution has the causal illness of the four shares, does it also have the resultant illness of the four great elements and the four sufferings, or not? Answer: Since there is the birth-and-death of the intrinsic essence, how could there not be the four great elements of the intrinsic essence? Thus the Dàpǐn states: 'All dharmas converge into earth, up to converging and not converging; the other three great elements are also like this.' If the four great elements and four sufferings of the intrinsic essence are exhausted, that is precisely the wondrous form of the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, clear, still, and ever abiding peacefully, not being shifted by birth-and-death. If the masters say that from Dharma Cloud to equal enlightenment there is no birth-and-death, how do they deal with the teachings? Furthermore, the text says: 'Because of ignorance there is craving, and thus my illness arises.' If the fundamental ignorance of the vajra-like equal enlightenment is not yet exhausted, then subtle causal and resultant illnesses will arise.
