成唯識論演祕 2.222

2.222

答：種雖有多，各各有能，唯防一具身、語七支，故說初念唯有七支，實非唯七。又種子和合不可分別，勢力既同，總立無失。三云：唯依近因等起末後念心思種子立，非依多種無有前失，此一念心近能發惑故唯依此。四云：唯依近因等起初念心種，發身、語中，此最勝故，身、語因此成善、惡故，後皆隨轉，非轉因故，如剎那思性不定故，由此最初能發無表。五云：近因等起中，無論初後，但最勝者事究竟時，思種增長能發無表。有義斷云：可依第二勝思相續，功能力齊有依、不依所以無故，非如有宗表唯一念。大乘身、語既相續流，能發彼思皆名表故。故無表色依多念思，但表皆能發無表故。律儀既爾，不律儀等准此應知。

Answer: Although there are many seeds, each has the efficacy to guard only one set of the seven factors of body and speech; therefore, it is said that the initial moment has only seven factors, but in reality it is not merely seven. Furthermore, the seeds are blended together and cannot be distinguished, and since their force is identical, positing them generally incurs no error. (3) It says: It is posited solely on the basis of the intention-seed of the final moment of proximate-cause concurrent origination; not being posited on multiple seeds, it does not incur the previous error. Because this single moment of mind directly generates the precepts, it is posited solely on this basis. (4) It says: It is posited solely on the basis of the seed of the initial moment of mind of proximate-cause concurrent origination; among those that produce body and speech, this is the most superior, because body and speech become good or evil by virtue of this, and subsequent [moments] all follow along and are not the cause of the transformation, just as momentary intention is of indeterminate nature; hence, this initial [intention] is able to generate the unmanifest. (5) It says: Among the proximate-cause concurrent origination, regardless of whether it is initial or final, when the most superior act is concluded, the intention-seed increases and can generate the unmanifest. There is an opinion that concludes: It may be posited on the basis of the second [view's] continuation of superior intentions; their efficacy and power are equal, and there is no reason why some should be relied upon while others are not, unlike the Sarvāstivāda where manifest [action] is solely a single moment. In the Mahāyāna, since body and speech are a continuous stream, the intentions that can generate them are all called manifest; therefore, unmanifest matter relies on intentions of multiple moments, because all manifest [actions] can generate the unmanifest. As it is with moral discipline, non-discipline and so forth should be understood accordingly.
