瑜伽論記 18.618

18.618

Regarding the statement that when dying from a higher stage and being reborn in a lower stage, immediately following all wholesome, afflicted, and indeterminate minds of the higher stage, only an afflicted mind of the lower stage arises, etc.: if one relies on the doctrinal approach conforming to conventional reasoning, when dying from a higher stage and being reborn in a lower stage, while the body is in the higher stage, an afflicted mind of the lower stage does not arise. Now, relying on the doctrinal approach of real truth, while the body is in the higher stage, at the time of impending death an afflicted mind of the lower stage arises to moisturise rebirth; that afflicted mind definitely differentiates its arising with respect to the cognitive object of its rebirth belonging to its own stage.
