維摩經略疏 8.34

8.34

「又問至為本」，第三問答。初文殊問。若為欲貪為身本故，斷身見已猶有欲在者，欲貪以誰為本？次淨名答「虛妄分別為本」。所以然者，虛妄之心種種推盡，或言離心出色、或離色出心，實無色心但以虛妄謂色異心，故起欲貪。斷欲貪盡猶有色心，虛妄分別即是色愛住地。

From "He also asked" to "as the root" is the third question and answer. First, Mañjuśrī asks: if, because desire and greed are the root of the body, desire still remains after the view of a personal self is severed, what does desire and greed have as its root? Next, Vimalakīrti answers, "False conceptualization is the root." Why is this so? The mind of false conceptualization investigates thoroughly in various ways, saying either that forms are produced apart from the mind, or that the mind is produced apart from form; in reality there are no forms or mind, yet solely through false conceptualization one considers form to be different from the mind, thereby giving rise to desire and greed. Even when desire and greed are completely severed, form and mind still remain; false conceptualization is precisely the entrenchment of form-attachment.
