基云：問：心種防於心，定體非色心，色種防於色，戒體非心色？答：色種防於色，種體是色即非色非心，心種防於心，種體非心，即名非心色。問：以色防色，色種還名色，以心防於心，心種即非非色？答：心種所防色，種體即色收。若爾，心種所防心，心種應心攝？答：色種防非善色起，依種立戒即是色，厭心種子亦防心，無別心起，故是非心色。問：色種說防非，色種名為善色起，心種心防慮，慮種後續說心生？答：心體本緣慮，慮種無緣故非心，從所防說為色，思種有防故色攝。

Ji says: Question: The seed of mind guards against mind, yet the substance of absorption is neither matter nor mind; the seed of matter guards against matter, yet the substance of precepts is neither mind nor matter? Answer: The seed of matter guards against matter; the substance of the seed being matter, it is neither matter nor mind; the seed of mind guards against mind; the substance of the seed not being mind, it is called neither mind nor matter. Question: If by matter one guards against matter, the seed of matter is still called matter; if by mind one guards against mind, is the seed of mind not non-matter? Answer: The matter guarded against by the seed of mind has its seed substance included under matter. If so, as for the mind guarded against by the seed of mind, should the seed of mind be subsumed under mind? Answer: The seed of matter guards against the arising of non-wholesome matter; the precept established based on the seed is precisely matter; the seed of the weary mind also guards against mind, and no distinct mind arises, therefore it is neither mind nor matter. Question: The seed of matter is said to guard against error; the seed of matter is called the arising of wholesome matter; the seed of mind, with mind, guards against conceptualization; will the seed of conceptualization later continually be said to produce mind? Answer: The substance of mind inherently takes objects and conceptualizes; the seed of conceptualization has no cognitive object and is therefore not mind; spoken of from the perspective of what is guarded against, it is matter; the seed of volition has the function of guarding, and is therefore subsumed under matter.
