俱舍論疏 4.222

4.222

論「然有處說至必不能修」，此經部通經也。經部上文云：若有種子即有隣近生果功能。又云：一切異生二道未起皆成就惑，經說若成就貪即不能修四念住故，此即聖法無由得起。故通經云：彼說耽著貪煩惱者，不能厭捨故名成就。由隨耽著貪愛時分，於四念住必不能修。此說增盛貪位名為成就，非謂但是有種子者不能修也。

[On the passage in] the treatise, from "However, it is said in some places" to "definitely cannot cultivate": Here the Sautrāntika harmonizes the sūtra. Above, the Sautrāntika stated: if there are seeds, there is the contiguous capacity to produce fruit. Furthermore, it is said: when all ordinary worldlings have not yet aroused the two paths, they all possess defilements; since the sūtra states that if one possesses greed one cannot cultivate the four applications of mindfulness (smṛtyupasthāna), the noble dharmas would have no way to arise. Therefore, harmonizing the sūtra, it is said: That [sūtra] speaks of those who are attached to the defilement of greed and cannot renounce it, which is called "possession." While they are attached to craving, they definitely cannot cultivate the four applications of mindfulness. This refers to the stage of intense greed as "possession"; it does not mean that merely possessing seeds prevents cultivation.
