23.26
Master Jing explains: '"Due to four": first, terror arises regarding status, which means terror arises in an unholy status. Second, "if it arises based on this phenomenon," which means one clings to formations as the self and what belongs to the self as a basis, and upon hearing selflessness taught, terror arises. Third, "arising in this manner," which means terror arises due to two kinds of deterioration of formations: 1. deterioration caused by different conditions, meaning terror arises because of adverse or agreeable diverse conditions, or through the conditions of aging and illness; 2. deterioration due to one's own mind giving rise to wrong conceptualization, meaning terror arises when one's wrong mind conceptualizes a single object as existent, nonexistent, permanent, impermanent, and so forth. Fourth, "aspects of arising," which means the aspect of terror arising out of fear that what is cherished will deteriorate, or the aspect of defilement arising when it actually deteriorates, and so forth. The above is all the first part on terror arising toward conditioned formations.'
