說無垢稱經疏 2.10

2.10

Commentary: This is the fourteenth virtue, the continuity of the forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas (anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti). Bhāviveka explains: 'Existing conventionally, yet empty of emptiness ultimately, is non-acquisition. Contemplating dharmas as originally empty, how could there be arising and so forth? Contemplating this non-arising and generating the patience of contemplative knowledge is called the patience of dharmas that do not arise, based on non-acquisition.' Dharmapāla and others say: 'The imagined nature, holding that persons and dharmas exist, is called having acquisition. Now contemplating them as empty is called non-acquisition.' 'Arise' means to be produced. 'Patience' means knowledge (jñāna). Contemplating the imagined as non-existent upon the three natures is called non-acquisition. Since the essence does not exist, how could there be arising and so forth? Contemplating this unarisen dharma and generating the knowledge of patient assent is precisely the three non-arising patiences. First, the patience of the original non-arising of nature, contemplating the two characteristics of persons and dharmas of the imagined nature as originally lacking an essential nature. Second, the patience of the natural non-arising, contemplating the dependently arisen as only provisional causes and conditions, not naturally arisen. Third, the patience of the non-arising of affliction and suffering, contemplating tathatā, because affliction and suffering are originally non-arisen. These three non-arising patiences are studied and contemplated before the grounds, realized upon entering the first ground, and continuous on the eighth ground; now, being furthermore accomplished naturally and with mastery, they are therefore given the designation 'accomplished.'
