金光明經文句記 2.64

2.64

Second, from "Erecting" downward, views. They are detailed as in the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra. Ordinary beings and non-Buddhists have proud minds that hold themselves high, which is analogized to erecting banners. Verbally proclaiming proud words is analogized to beating drums. Regarding the five aggregates, they each give rise to four views; the text briefly presents the form aggregate, and the other four aggregates may be understood accordingly. The next line should read "apart from form is self"; the current reading "the self is form" is an error in the text. "There is a self within form" means form is large and the self is small. "There is form within the self" means the self is large and form is small. Giving rise to sixty-two: on each of the five aggregates they give rise to four views, together making twenty; traversing the three times, they make sixty; and what they reckon does not go beyond the two views of annihilation and permanence; therefore there are sixty-two. What they preach lacks reality and is like joking and jesting; hence it is called "frivolous discourse." Due to this frivolous discourse, they do not see true emptiness, and thus it destroys the wisdom eye.
