成唯識論述記 1.28

1.28

Vasubandhu's verse of refuge and homage in the Mahāyānasaṃgraha states: “Therefore with utmost sincerity in body, speech, and thought, / I repeatedly cultivate homage of refuge without error.” Thus we know that “bowing the head” in principle applies to all three actions. Next, the words “those who are completely or partially purified in the nature of vijñapti-mātra” manifest the essence of that to which homage is paid. The phrase “nature of vijñapti-mātra” has briefly two kinds: first, the false, which is the imaginary [nature] (parikalpita); second, the real, which is the perfected [nature] (pariniṣpanna). With regard to the former nature of vijñapti-mātra, it is purity through elimination; with regard to the latter nature of vijñapti-mātra, it is purity through realization.
