10.232

觀識陰為十方眾生之命元,是十二類命之通要,由是我命通彼,彼命通我,故云互通。今觀識陰若盡,十方眾生命即皆盡,我命亦盡,盡即教誰證真常理?誰為所化眾生?徒有真常,無證真者,故留塵勞,却起貪欲,化蓮華宮及諸欲境,恣受欲樂,圖命不滅,俾要證真,起用化物,作此執計定不移轉,故云勝解。媛,女寶也。

They observe the aggregate of consciousness as the life-origin of sentient beings across the ten directions, the common hub for the twelve classes of life. Because of this, my life connects to theirs, and their life connects to mine; hence it is said that they 'interpenetrate.' Now they observe that if the aggregate of consciousness is extinguished, the lives of sentient beings in the ten directions will all be extinguished, and my life will also be extinguished. If it is extinguished, then who can be taught to realize the true and permanent principle? Who will be the sentient beings to be transformed? There would be the true and permanent in vain, with no one realizing reality. Therefore, they retain defilements and instead give rise to sensual desire, conjuring lotus-flower palaces and various realms of desire, indulging in sensual pleasure, aiming for life not to perish so that they may realize reality and exert functioning to transform beings. Formulating this clingy calculation without wavering is termed 'a superior understanding.' '媛' means precious women.
