瑜伽師地論略纂 14.104

14.104

論云「如是四諦為世俗諦，為勝義諦？答：勝義諦」，此答意，其滅、道二諦乃是勝義；苦、集二諦由彼苦相三受皆是行苦，一味苦故，是勝義諦。若差別說，苦受是苦，餘集等非，自性差別故，名世俗諦。是此中答意也。世俗諦如七十四，有四種：一、世俗世俗諦，如說床坐、軍林、瓶名世事；二、道理世俗，謂蘊、界、處等道理世俗；三、證得世俗，謂四沙門果；四、勝義世俗，謂說人無我如等。今此中約道理世俗是世俗諦，以自性差別故。以此准知西方勝義諦亦四：一、世俗勝義，謂觀一切為行苦相；二、道理勝義諦，謂蘊等道理，非真如也；三、證得勝義，謂四沙門果；四、勝義勝義，謂入真觀一味真如。此中約世俗勝義。法師第三但言勝義，謂一切為苦等。四、勝義勝義，如前說，下有文。

Regarding where the treatise states, “Are these four truths conventional truths or ultimate truths? Answer: Ultimate truths”: the intent of this answer is that the two truths of cessation and the path are indeed ultimate; as for the two truths of suffering and origin, due to their aspect of suffering, all three feelings are the suffering of conditioning, having a single flavor of suffering, hence they are ultimate truths. If explained distinction-wise, painful feeling is suffering while the remaining origin and so forth are not; due to their distinctions of intrinsic nature, they are called conventional truths. This is the intent of the answer here. Conventional truth, as in the seventy-fourth [fascicle], is of four kinds: 1. Conventional conventional truth, as in speaking of couches, seats, armies, forests, and vases as conventional matters; 2. Conventional truth of reasoning, which refers to the conventional truth of reasoning concerning aggregates, realms, sense-bases, and so forth; 3. Conventional truth of attainment, which refers to the four fruits of asceticism; 4. Conventional truth of the ultimate, which refers to speaking of the suchness of the non-self of persons, etc. Now here, it is conventional truth in terms of the conventional truth of reasoning, due to distinctions of intrinsic nature. By this one can infer that the ultimate truth in the Western region is also fourfold: 1. Conventional ultimate, which refers to contemplating everything under the aspect of the suffering of conditioning; 2. Ultimate truth of reasoning, which refers to the reasoning of the aggregates and so forth, not true suchness; 3. Ultimate of attainment, which refers to the four fruits of asceticism; 4. Ultimate ultimate, which refers to entering true contemplation of the single-flavored true suchness. Here it is in terms of the conventional ultimate. The Dharma Master’s third only speaks of the ultimate, meaning everything being suffering and so forth. 4. The ultimate ultimate, as spoken of before, is found in the text below.
