俱舍論記 23.6

23.6

「謂以自共相至除三餘法」者，舉第三、第四句答。謂以自相別觀身、受、心、法，謂以共相別觀身、受、心、法。問：如何得知共相別觀身、受、心、法？答：如《正理》六十云「以自、共相於身等境一一別觀。」又云「或身念住觀自相者，謂觀於身各別自性。次身念住觀共相者，謂觀身上與餘有為俱無常性，與餘有漏俱是苦性，與餘一切法俱空、無我性（受等隨應）。」又《法蘊足論》第五解身念住中，以無常、苦、空、非我，於身、受、心、法一一別觀。以此等論，證知共相別觀身等。除身、受、心三，餘一切法名法自性。餘文可知。

Regarding "Namely, by means of specific and general characteristics ... excluding the three, the remaining dharmas": this cites the third and fourth lines in reply. Namely, by means of specific characteristics one contemplates the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas individually; and by means of general characteristics one contemplates the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas individually. Question: How is it known that one contemplates the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas individually through general characteristics? Answer: As Nyāyānusāra fascicle 60 states: "By means of specific and general characteristics, one contemplates each individually with respect to the objects of body and so forth." It also states: "Or, in the foundation of mindfulness of the body, contemplating specific characteristics means contemplating the distinct intrinsic nature of the body. Next, contemplating general characteristics in the foundation of mindfulness of the body means contemplating on the body its nature of being impermanent together with other conditioned phenomena, its nature of being suffering together with other contaminated phenomena, and its nature of being empty and non-self together with all other phenomena (feelings and so forth are understood accordingly)." Furthermore, the fifth fascicle of the Dharmaskandha-śāstra, in explaining the foundation of mindfulness of the body, explains that by means of impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and non-self, one contemplates the body, feelings, mind, and dharmas each individually. On the evidence of these treatises, we know that one contemplates the body and so forth individually by means of general characteristics. Excluding the three—body, feelings, and mind—all other dharmas are called the intrinsic nature of dharmas. The rest of the text is understandable.
