說無垢稱經疏 5.622

5.622

贊曰：此中有七。一四靜處為床，心恒安處故。無貪淨命以為菌耨，三業恒以為近依故。菌者單文。褥如單文名為菌褥。舊云「從於淨命生」，義稍難解，近藉身故。由念明記及智觀察，常自覺悟，恒在定中，故以靜慮而為床等。舊云「多聞增智慧」，因定增慧故。以為自覺音，將所問法以為自覺之音聲故，更無別配。二既飡真，如不死之法，無起滅故。還飲擇滅解脫之味，離諸苦故。舊解脫味說為漿，除煩惱熱渴故。三於八解脫池，浴妙淨心，令無染故。四於此心上塗上品戒香，滅眾惡故、熏身心故，菩薩戒也。五殄滅煩惱賊，是故勇健更無勝者。六摧伏四怨。七建菩提幢，無上菩提極高大故，由此喻幢。或此有十二，開菌褥、念智、常定、飲味、勇健故。

Commentary: Herein there are seven [points]. First, the four dhyānas serve as the couch, because the mind is ever peacefully situated. Pure livelihood free from greed serves as the cushion, because the three karmas ever serve as its close reliance. "Jun" (菌) means a single weave of fabric; a pad resembling a single weave is called a "jun-pad" (菌褥). The old translation says, "Born from pure livelihood"; this meaning is somewhat difficult to understand, because it directly relies on the body. Through the clear recording of mindfulness and the observation of wisdom, one is constantly self-awakened and ever in absorption; hence the dhyānas serve as the couch and so forth. The old translation says, "Extensive learning increases wisdom," because wisdom increases on account of meditative absorption. It serves as the sound of self-awakening, because taking the teachings inquired about as the sound of self-awakening leaves no other assignment. Second, having eaten of the true, as the deathless Dharma, because there is no arising or ceasing, one further drinks the taste of liberation through analytical cessation, because it is free from all suffering. The old translation refers to the taste of liberation as "syrup," because it dispels the feverish thirst of defilements. Third, in the pond of the eight liberations, one bathes the wonderfully pure mind to render it unstained. Fourth, upon this mind one smears the supreme perfume of morality, because it destroys all evils and perfumes body and mind; this is the bodhisattva precept. Fifth, destroying the bandits of defilement; therefore one is valiant and robust, with none to surpass. Sixth, subduing the four foes. Seventh, erecting the banner of bodhi, because unsurpassed bodhi is supremely lofty and great; hence it is compared to a banner. Alternatively, there are twelve [points] here, dividing the cushion, mindfulness and wisdom, constant absorption, drinking the taste, and valiant robustness.
