成唯識論演祕 4.224

4.224

按《瑜伽》五十一云：「依此一切種子阿賴耶識故，薄伽梵說有眼界、色界、眼識界乃至有意界、法界、意識界，由於阿賴耶識中有種種界故。又如經說惡叉聚喻，由於阿賴耶識中有多界故。」又六十六云：「云何種種界？謂即十八界展轉異相性。云何非一界？謂即彼界無量有情種種差別所依住性。云何無量界？謂總彼二名無量界。」又九十六〈攝事分〉云：「住自性界者：謂十八界墮自相續，各各決定差別種子……復次以要言之，雖界種類十八可得，然一一界業趣有情種種品類有差別，故當知無量。譬如世間大惡叉聚，於此聚中有多品類，種類一故。雖說為一而有無量，如是於其一一界中各有無量品類差別，種類一故雖各說一，而實無量。」又《對法論》第一云：問：眼界何相？

According to the Yogācārabhūmi, fascicle 51: 'In reliance on this ālaya-vijñāna containing all seeds, the Bhagavān taught that there are the eye-dhātu, visible-form-dhātu, eye-consciousness-dhātu, up to the mind-dhātu, phenomena-dhātu, and mental-consciousness-dhātu, because there are various dhātus within the ālaya-vijñāna. Furthermore, it is just as the sūtra teaches the metaphor of a cluster of akṣa fruits, because there are many dhātus within the ālaya-vijñāna.' Also, fascicle 66 says: 'What are the various dhātus? They are the nature of mutually distinct characteristics of the eighteen dhātus. What is non-single dhātu? It is the nature of being the basis of the manifold distinctions among immeasurable sentient beings. What are immeasurable dhātus? Taken together, the two are called immeasurable dhātus.' Furthermore, fascicle 96, 'Vastusaṃgrahaṇī', states: 'The dhātu abiding in intrinsic nature: namely, the eighteen dhātus falling within one's own saṃtāna, each having distinct and determinate seeds... Furthermore, to state it briefly, although eighteen kinds of dhātus can be found, yet within each single dhātu, because of the manifold varieties of karmic destinies of sentient beings, they should be known to be immeasurable. For instance, like a great cluster of akṣa fruits in the world: within this cluster there are many varieties, but because their genus is one, although spoken of as one, they are immeasurable. Likewise, within each single dhātu there are immeasurable varieties of differences; because their genus is one, although each is spoken of as one, in reality they are immeasurable.' In addition, the Abhidharmasamuccaya-bhāṣya, fascicle 1, asks: 'What is the characteristic of the eye-dhātu?'
