首楞嚴義疏注經 2.76

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.2.76)

既云竪臂為正，佛便竪臂，隨而責之，此即正是顛倒也。指本垂下，今却逆上，故云首尾相換。世人不依本分以正為正，而別生異見以倒為正，故云一倍瞻視。

> Since he said erecting the arm is upright, the Buddha then erected his arm and immediately reproached him: this is precisely inverted. The fingers fundamentally hang down; now they point upward conversely; hence he speaks of 'a reversal of top and bottom.' Worldly people do not rely on the fundamental state to take upright as upright, but generate aberrant views to take inverted as upright; hence he says they 'double their gaze.'
