成唯識論演祕 1.10

1.10

按彼經第十九頌云：「譬如工畫師，不能知自心，而由心故畫，諸法性如是。若人知心行，普造諸世間，是人則見佛，了佛真實性。若人欲了知，三世一切佛，應觀法界性，一切唯心起。」又《大般若》四百六十七云：「謂諸菩薩作是思惟：諸行如幻，唯是虛妄分別所起，一切皆是自心所變。」准斯《般若》第二時中亦說唯識，《疏》依多分言第二時。

Examining the nineteenth chapter of that sūtra, a verse states: "Just as a skilled painter / Cannot know his own mind, / Yet paints because of the mind, / Such is the nature of all phenomena. / If someone knows how the mind acts, / Universally creating all worlds, / This person sees the Buddha / And understands the Buddha's true nature. / If someone wishes to fully know / All the Buddhas of the three periods, / They should contemplate the nature of the dharmadhātu: / Everything arises from the mind alone." Furthermore, the Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra, fascicle 467, states: "All bodhisattvas reflect thus: All conditioned phenomena are like illusions, arising solely from false conceptualization; everything is transformed by one's own mind." According to this, vijñapti-mātra is also taught in the second period of Prajñā; the Commentary speaks of the second period based on the predominant portion.
