注大乘入楞伽經 1.78

1.78

This adduces three internal phenomena to match the previous analogies: using "with ignorance as condition" to match the previous analogy of the jar; using "the consciousnesses" to match the analogy of the nature of fire; and using "cultivating contemplative practice" to match the analogy of the seed. Now, the jar has the meaning of being manufactured; conditioned by ignorance, the diverse varieties of sense faculties, physical bodies, and the container world can be produced. Fire has the meaning of perfuming and transforming; through the consciousnesses, all the distinctions of defiled and pure phenomena can be perfumed and transformed. The seed has the meaning of sprouting; through cultivating contemplative practice, one's own wisdom sprouts, and one likewise sees differentiated marks. Thus, the phenomena and analogies each have their significance. These three phenomena collectively explain the two meanings, as they are entirely due to the discrimination of marks.
