成唯識論演祕 2.316

2.316

答：若依小宗，總別有異，得總餘別。故《俱舍論》第四云，得有二種：一者未得、已失今獲；二者得已，不失成就，故體義同，依總別門分差別稱。釋獲、成就二差別者，有云：若法未得及得已失俱，今初得，此法上得創至生相，即名為獲；若流至現得已不失，名為成就。獲時不名成，成就不名獲。若古德釋，成通新舊。獲唯據新，其中得失如彼論鈔，若大乘者義乃通矣。如現行法雖唯新得，亦得名為現行成就，種有新重、本有二別，俱名成就，亦名得、獲。故《瑜伽論》五十二云：云何得、獲、成就，謂若略說，生緣、攝受、增盛之因，說名為得。

Answer: If according to the Hīnayāna school, there is a distinction between the general and the particular: 'possession' is general, while the other two are particular. Thus the fourth fascicle of the Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya states: 'Possession is of two kinds: first, acquiring now what was not previously attained or was already lost; second, having acquired, not losing it, which is endowment.' Thus, their essence and meaning are identical, and different designations are distinguished according to the perspective of general and particular. As for explaining the difference between the two—acquisition and endowment—some say: If a factor was not yet attained or, having been attained, was lost, and both are now first attained, the initial arrival of this factor's possession at the arising-characteristic is called 'acquisition'; if it flows on to actualization and, having been acquired, is not lost, it is called 'endowment.' When it is acquisition, it is not called endowment; when it is endowment, it is not called acquisition. If according to the explanations of ancient masters, endowment applies to both the new and the old, whereas acquisition pertains solely to the new, and the merits and defects among these are as found in the notes on that treatise. If according to the Mahāyāna, the meaning is flexible: just as an actualized factor, although only newly attained, may also be called 'endowment with actualization,' so too seeds have two distinctions—newly reinforced and originally existing—and both are called endowment, as well as being called possession and acquisition. Thus fascicle fifty-two of the Yogācārabhūmi states: 'What are possession, acquisition, and endowment? In brief, the cause of generation-condition, appropriation, and enhancement is called possession.'
