俱舍論疏 16.38

16.38

On the text, "The three good conducts [...] non-malice, and right view": This explains the three good conducts. Inverting the three misdeeds produces the three good conducts. That is, "all wholesome karma" refers to refraining from drinking alcohol, praising, and so forth, apart from the prior and posterior preparatory stages as well as the root karmas. The *Vibhāṣā*, fascicle 117, says: "Question: Do the three good conducts subsume the three silences, or do the three silences subsume the three good conducts? Answer: One should form a fourfold proposition. There is good conduct that is not silence: excluding the bodily and vocal good conduct of the non-learner, the remaining bodily and vocal good conduct and all mental good conduct. There is silence that is not good conduct: the mind of the non-learner. There is that which is both good conduct and silence: the bodily and vocal good conduct of the non-learner. There is that which is neither good conduct nor silence: excluding the aforementioned characteristics. Do the three good conducts subsume the three purities, or do the three purities subsume the three good conducts? Answer: In accordance with their facts, they reciprocally subsume each other. Do the three purities subsume the three silences, or do the three silences subsume the three purities? Answer: One should form a fourfold proposition. There is purity that is not silence: excluding the bodily and vocal purity of the non-learner, the remaining bodily and vocal purity and all mental purity. What is this further? It refers to the bodily and vocal purity of learners and neither-learners-nor-non-learners, and the three kinds of mental purity, because mental silence is solely the mind of the non-learner. There is silence that is not purity: the mind of the non-learner, because it is not of the nature of karma. There is that which is both purity and silence: the bodily and vocal purity of the non-learner. There is that which is neither purity nor silence: excluding the aforementioned characteristics."
