成唯識論述記 10.352

10.352

The Commentary states: Vasubandhu and others agree. The old Madhyāntavibhāga says: Due to the contemplation on the basis of the twelve links of dependent origination in the sixth ground, regarding the causes and effects of defilement and purity of the four truths, there is not a single phenomenon that can be defiled or can be purified. The new Madhyāntavibhāga says: By penetrating this, one knows that dependently arisen phenomena are without defilement and without purity, which does not refer to tathatā itself; rather, because of tathatā, phenomena have neither defilement nor purity, and so tathatā is termed "without defilement or purity." This treatise and others speak of the substance of tathatā, while the Madhyāntavibhāga speaks of phenomena by relying on the substance of tathatā; they do not contradict each other.
