四分律行事鈔資持記 2.2045

2.2045

重廣中，初示所修觀相。無性即空理。以下，明罪滅所以。諸世間業，皆從我生，我為業主；我既無託，故所造善惡，不從我倒而生；妄業無依，故得除滅。見謂達理，思謂起修，除謂能觀智，滅即所觀業。破妄顯真，而非頓證，故皆云分。若約位判，分見分思，即內凡人；分除分滅，即初果已去。如下，喻顯。眠醉喻迷，醒覺喻悟；眠覺醉醒，相似法故。

In expanding broadly again, it first indicates the marks of the contemplation to be cultivated. 'Lack of nature' is the principle of emptiness. From 'because...' downward, it explains the reason offenses are eradicated: all worldly karmas are born from the self, with the self as the lord of karma; since the self has nothing to rely upon, the good and evil created do not arise from the inversion of the self; because delusive karma has no basis, it can be eradicated. 'Seeing' means penetrating the principle, 'thinking' means undertaking practice, 'eliminating' refers to the contemplating wisdom, and 'eradicating' refers to the contemplated karma. Breaking through delusion to reveal the true is not an instantaneous realization, and therefore all are termed 'partial' (fen). If classified according to stages: partial seeing and partial thinking refer to internal ordinary persons; partial eliminating and partial eradicating refer to those from the first fruition onward. From 'as...' downward, it illustrates with an analogy. Sleep and drunkenness illustrate delusion; waking and sobering illustrate awakening. Waking from sleep and sobering from drunkenness are analogous phenomena.
