俱舍論疏 4.56

4.56

The Treatise states: "Among these, faith [...] is therefore called faith." The Nyāyānusāra states: "Contrary to turbidity of the mind, it is manifest endorsement and acceptance. Cause and effect, being without error, pertain individually to their own results; serving as the basis for desire and capable of nourishing resolve, it is called faith." The Abhidharmāvatāra states: "It is a dharma capable of dispelling turbidity and defilement from the mind. Just as a water-clearing gem placed in a pond causes turbid and defiled water to instantly become clear and pure, so when the gem of faith is within the pond of the mind, all turbid defilements of the mind are completely dispelled."
