成唯識論了義燈 3.85

3.85

《論》：又諸聖者厭離有色等。本《疏》據顯言，色界類示西明云：此說那含等，厭色生，無色必不下生。不說色界者，彼有色身，往欲界故。今謂不爾，違下文故。下云：是故現居及當生者變為此界，不言當往者變。若許往者變，無色亦來佛傍側立，亦應許變，況下又難：設有色身，麁細懸隔，此變為彼，亦何所用？故本解正。

The treatise says: "Furthermore, the noble ones loathe and turn away from the possession of form, etc." The root commentary, relying on what is evident, speaks of the form realm as an illustrative analogy. Ximing says: This speaks of anāgāmins and the like who loathe form and are born [in the formless realm]; those who are formless definitely do not descend to be born [here]. The form realm is not mentioned because they possess material bodies and go to the desire realm. We now say that this is not so, because it contradicts the text below. The text below says: "Therefore, those who presently dwell and those who will be born transform into this realm"; it does not say that those who will go [there] transform. If one allows that those who go transform, then since the formless also come to stand beside the Buddha, they should also be allowed to transform. Moreover, it is objected below: "Even if there were a material body, coarse and subtle are far apart; what use would there be for this to transform into that?" Therefore, the original explanation is correct.
