說無垢稱經疏 6.7

6.7

Commentary: The second section below explains Vimalakīrti admonishing and stopping him. This is the admonishment: in accordance with the Hīnayāna, the eight vimokṣas eliminate greed and desire; in the Mahāyāna, the eight vimokṣas eliminate meditative hindrances. Moreover, among meditative hindrances, greed is foremost, so the contemplation of the eight vimokṣas is for eliminating all greed regarding the five sense objects. You, benevolent one, have already attained them, and greed is eternally extinguished, yet a desire for material food and habitual defilements still remain. Do not hear the true Dharma with a defiled mind; one should eliminate the desire for material food and generate the aspiration for the food of Dharma. Furthermore, the Āgamas state: 'There are nine kinds of food: morsel food, contact, mental volition, consciousness, dhyāna, aspiration, mindfulness, liberation, and joy. One should always focus one's thoughts on abandoning the first four foods, and diligently cultivate constant practice, delighting in the latter five supramundane foods.' Thus he says that since the benevolent one has already attained liberation, he should not defile his mind with material food, for material food is included under morsel food.
