成唯識論演祕 2.694

2.694

答：獨影從見不別熏種，廣如《燈》辨。有義：別熏，論自說云：「隨分別有虛空等相，數習力故心等生時，似虛空等無為相現。」故知別熏成種子也。此緣生相實是有為，生滅之法前後相似，似一常等說為無為；不生滅故，故名為假。

Answer: As an exclusive reflection (dṛśya/solitary image) following the cognitive aspect (darśana-bhāga), it does not separately perfume seeds, as explained extensively in the Deng. There is another opinion: It does perfume separately. The Treatise itself says: 'In accordance with conceptual discrimination, there are marks of space and so forth; because of repeated practice, when mind and so forth arise, marks resembling the unconditioned space and so forth appear.' Hence one knows it separately perfumes to form seeds. This conditioned, arisen mark is actually conditioned; dharmas of arising and ceasing are similar in prior and posterior moments, and resembling a single, eternal [state] and so forth, they are described as unconditioned; because they do not arise or cease [as an independent substantial entity], they are termed provisional.
