俱舍論疏 25.15

25.15

論「言護法者至喜自防護」，釋護法也。《正理論》云「謂有一類恒於時愛解脫中繫念現前，專精護彼，作是念言：我且未能修習練根達安住法，但於時愛心解脫中能不放逸精勤防護。如是種類名為護法。」

On the passage of the treatise from “One of the protective dharma ... up to ‘delights in self-protection’”: this explains the protective dharma. The *Nyāyānusāra* says: “It refers to a class of persons who constantly maintain mindfulness in the presence of temporarily beloved liberation, intently protecting it, thinking thus: ‘I am not yet able to cultivate the refining of faculties to reach the abiding dharma; I can only vigilantly and energetically protect [myself] within temporarily beloved mental liberation.’ Such a type is called the protective dharma.”
