18.18

有求亦五等者,景云:一、法爾求,即任運求上有身,亦可劫末法爾離欲求上有身;二、祈願求,作意願求,亦可除劫末時祈願離欲生上;三、愚癡求,不了上地是無常法,求上有身;四、厭患求,厭下求上;五、思擇求,思擇上地離下穢染,故求上地。

Regarding 'the quest for existence also has five, etc.', Jing says: First, 'quest by intrinsic nature'—that is, spontaneously seeking bodily existence in higher realms, or also naturally seeking bodily existence in higher realms through detachment at the end of a kalpa. Second, 'quest through aspiration'—seeking through intentional vows, or also aspiring to detach from desire and be born above at times other than the end of a kalpa. Third, 'quest through folly'—not understanding that higher stages are impermanent dharmas, and seeking bodily existence in higher realms. Fourth, 'quest through disgust'—reviling the lower and seeking the higher. Fifth, 'quest through deliberation'—deliberating that higher stages are free from the defilements of the lower, and therefore seeking the higher stages.
