成唯識論述記 8.323

8.323

答曰：九十三中自有會云：「行為緣故，令識轉變，此識現法但是因性，攝受當生諸識果故，約就一切相續為名，說六識身。」既有此解故言六識者，是就二乘一切身語，彼不立有第八識故。又，一身中，約一切識相續為名說言六識，其實唯取阿賴耶也，果報主故，說與名色互為緣故，乃至命終恒隨轉故。此唯種子不取現行，何以知者？《大論》第十、此論等云：胎藏苦故。

Answer: Fascicle 93 provides its own reconciliation, stating: "Because formations act as conditions, they cause consciousness to transform; this consciousness in the present life is merely of a causal nature, because it gathers the fruits of the various consciousnesses to be born in the future; speaking in terms of the continuum of all [consciousnesses], it is called the six consciousness bodies." Since there is this explanation, speaking of the six consciousnesses is in accordance with all the bodies and words of the Two Vehicles, because they do not establish the existence of the eighth consciousness. Furthermore, within a single body, speaking of the six consciousnesses is designated in terms of the continuum of all consciousnesses; in reality, it only takes the ālaya[vijñāna], because it is the master of karmic retribution, is spoken of as mutually conditioning name-and-form, and constantly follows and turns until the end of life. This is solely seeds and does not take active manifestations. How is this known? Because fascicle 10 of the Great Treatise, this treatise, and others state that it is suffering of the womb.
