成唯識論了義燈 7.40

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [7.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.7.40)

若爾，菩薩與二乘同，何名殊勝？答：且望無姓總名殊勝，非唯簡小得殊勝名。若不許小亦名殊勝，違二十一，彼云：「如是種子非於六處有別異相，即於如是種類分位六處殊勝，從無始世展轉傳來法爾所得。」又由此文云六處者，唯目六內處，非果位等。

> If so, and bodhisattvas are the same as the two vehicles, why are they called "excellent"? Answer: For now, in contrast to those without gotra, they are collectively called "excellent"; it is not solely by being distinguished from the small \[vehicle\] that they obtain the name "excellent". If one does not accept that the small \[vehicle\] is also called "excellent", it contradicts fascicle 21, which says: "Such seeds do not have distinct characteristics in the six āyatanas; within the excellence of the six āyatanas in such categories and stages, they are handed down successively from beginningless time and acquired naturally." Moreover, from this passage, "six āyatanas" refers solely to the six internal āyatanas, not to the stages of fruition and so forth.
