瑜伽師地論略纂 7.2

7.2

"Thinking" (cintā) refers to reflection and deliberation—that is, the universal mental factor of volition (cetanā), which is associated exclusively with mental consciousness. The prajñā born from reflection is called the "prajñā arisen from reflection" (cintāmayī prajñā). Here, taking all phenomena accomplished through prajñā arisen from reflection—whose essential nature spans the five aggregates—it constitutes the substance of this bhūmi. The text is divided into two parts: first, marking out and listing the three gates; second, explaining them individually in turn.
