俱舍論疏 18.8

18.8

[On the phrase of the] treatise, "[It is] unassociated with the mind, [being included in the] aggregate of formations (saṃskāra-skandha)": This reveals the essential nature (svabhāva) of schism in the Saṅgha. This explains that schism in the Saṅgha is non-concord (asāmagrī), non-obscured and neutral (anivṛtāvyākṛta), and subsumed within the aggregate of formations. Fascicle 116 of the Vibhāṣā says: "Evaluation: Relying on any of the six consciousnesses or relying on any of the five feelings, one is able to create a schism in the Saṅgha. Question: What is the self-nature of schism in the Saṅgha? Answer: Its self-nature is non-concord, non-obscured and neutral, an unassociated formation (citta-viprayukta-saṃskāra); it is subsumed under the unassociated formations of the aggregate of formations. That is what is elsewhere spoken of as: 'There are still other unassociated formations of such kind.'" According to this text, the nature of non-concord is simply non-acquisition (aprāpti); it has no separate substance. How is this known? Relying on fascicle 60 of the Vibhāṣā: "Evaluation: The self-nature of falling away (parihāṇi) is non-attainment, non-obscured and neutral; it is simply non-acquisition, subsumed under the aggregate of formations unassociated with the mind, being subsumed under 'there are still other dharmas of such kind unassociated with the mind.' Falling away is different from dharmas favorable to falling away; dharmas favorable to falling away have all unwholesome and obscured-neutral [dharmas] as their self-nature. Just as schism in the Saṅgha is different from the offense of breaking the Saṅgha: schism in the Saṅgha has non-concord as its self-nature, is non-obscured and neutral, and is subsumed under the aggregate of formations unassociated with the mind." Based on what this treatise states, falling away is subsumed under "there are still other dharmas of such kind unassociated with the mind," which is identical to schism in the Saṅgha. Since falling away is not a separate dharma, it is simply non-acquisition. Therefore we know that the non-concordant nature of schism in the Saṅgha is simply the non-acquisition of a shared aspiration and a shared acceptance; it has no separate substantial nature.
