俱舍論疏 22.143

22.143

論「已辨諸諦應說云何」，已下當品大文第三就位辨人。文中有三：一明聖道加行、二就三道辨人、三明諸道差別。就明聖道加行中，一總標加行門；二明淨身、器；三廣明七加行。此下一行頌總標加行。《正理論》云「求見聖諦初業地中所習行儀極為繁廣，欲遍解者當於眾聖所集觀行諸論中求。以要言之，初修行者應於解脫具深意樂，觀涅槃德背生死過，先應方便親近善友，善友能為眾行本故。具聞等力得善友名，譬如良醫。」乃至廣說。

On the Śāstra's 'Having explained the truths, it should be stated how': Below is the third major section of this chapter, distinguishing persons according to their stage. In the text there are three parts: first, explaining the preliminary practices of the noble path; second, distinguishing persons according to the three paths; third, explaining the distinctions among the paths. Within explaining the preliminary practices of the noble path: first, generally indicating the gate of preliminary practice; second, explaining the purification of body and vessel; third, explaining in detail the seven preliminary practices. This next single verse generally indicates preliminary practice. The Nyāyānusāra states: 'The behavioral practices trained in the ground of initial practice by those seeking to see the noble truths are extremely extensive; those who wish to understand them comprehensively should seek them in the treatises on contemplation compiled by the noble ones. In short, a beginner should have a deep aspiration for liberation, contemplate the virtues of nirvāṇa, turn away from the faults of saṃsāra, and first apply effort to approach good friends, because good friends are the basis of all practices. One who possesses the power of learning and so forth receives the name "good friend", like a skilled physician,' and so on, up to extensive exposition.
