維摩經略疏 4.84

4.84

From "in this way" onward is the second [part], reiterating the explanation. The text has two parts: first, three turns explaining the substance of the food; second, explaining the function of the food. The first text has three: first, in terms of principle, the wrongful and the correct do not obstruct each other: if one relies on the Buddha's wisdom, one does not see the eight such as wrong views or right views; hence it says: "neither having afflictions nor free from afflictions"—"not having" means not seeing the eight such as wrong views, and "not free from" means not seeing the eight such as right views. "Neither entering a concentrated mind nor arising from a concentrated mind" is the next turn reiterating the explanation. Regarding the phenomenal eight wrong states and eight correct states, the bodhisattva's mind relies on the Buddha's wisdom and does not see the eight liberations and nine concentrations as something that can be entered; hence it says "not entering a concentrated mind"; nor does he see exiting or entering attached dhyāna and all wrongful concentrations; hence it says "not arising from a concentrated mind."
