俱舍論疏 27.193

27.193

論「如生色界至天眼見無遺」，明力用也。如生色界生得天眼，見障色等。依《婆沙》一百八十六云「又天眼在左在右，勝劣品類必同。問：諸有此生眼不見色，彼依何法引發天眼耶？答：如有一得自性念，生先餘生中眼曾見色，彼依此故引發天眼。天耳亦爾。問：諸有獲得宿住隨念智者，亦能引發天眼、天耳，此中何故不說？答：應說而不說者，當知此義有餘。有說：若於生盲者天眼、生聾者天耳，俱能引發者，此中說之。宿住隨念智唯能引發彼類天眼，非天耳故，所以不說。所以者何？諸生聾無宿住隨念智故，要由他教此智生故，是以不說。」又云「《法蘊足論》說：於眼因有異色界大種所造天眼清淨現前，由此天眼能見前、後、左、右、上、下諸色差別，非石壁等所能障故。問：此是天眼於一切頓現，見十方諸色境不？有說能見，有說不能，然能面向一方隨欲能見，不須迴轉故，說能見十方。」

The Śāstra states: "Just as when born in the form realm... the divine eye sees without omission." This clarifies power and function. Just as when born in the form realm, the innately acquired divine eye sees obstructed forms and so forth. Relying on the *Vibhāṣā*, fascicle 186, which says: "Moreover, the divine eye in the left and in the right is necessarily identical in superior and inferior category. Question: For those whose eyes in this life cannot see forms, relying on what dharma do they induce the divine eye? Answer: For instance, someone obtains the innate mindfulness of birth: when in prior other lives their eye had previously seen forms, relying on this they induce the divine eye. The divine ear is also like this. Question: Those who have obtained the knowledge of recollection of past lives can also induce the divine eye and divine ear; why is this not mentioned here? Answer: What should have been said but was not said—one should know that this meaning is an omission. Some say: if one can induce both the divine eye for the congenitally blind and the divine ear for the congenitally deaf, it is stated here. The knowledge of recollection of past lives can only induce that type's divine eye, not the divine ear, which is why it is not stated. Why is that? Congenitally deaf persons lack the knowledge of recollection of past lives, because this knowledge must arise from instruction by another; thus it is not stated." It also says: "The *Dharmaskandha* states: Based on the eye-cause, there is a clear divine eye made of the great elements of a different realm of form manifest before one; by means of this divine eye, one is able to see all the distinctions of forms in front, behind, left, right, above, and below, because it cannot be obstructed by stone walls and the like. Question: Does this divine eye appear suddenly to all, seeing the realms of forms in the ten directions, or not? Some say it can see them; some say it cannot; however, facing toward one direction, it can see at will without needing to turn around, and therefore it is said to be able to see the ten directions."
