成唯識論演祕 7.617

7.617

詳曰：第七二障頓斷無差，隣次雙明頓斷所以。六識二障前後別明，就煩惱中，小、大有異，小漸大頓。次明所知唯大唯漸，後方釋彼漸斷所以。文勢既隔，何得通釋煩惱漸因？又煩惱障菩薩頓斷文已自彰，「緣內、外」言，如何顯頓反明漸耶？由斯但辨所知漸由，示方隅爾。

Examining this: The sudden severing of the two obstacles in the seventh is without distinction, and immediately in sequence it clarifies the reason for the sudden severing. The two obstacles in the six consciousnesses are clarified separately, before and after. Within the afflictive [obstacle], the Hinayāna and Mahāyāna differ: the Hinayāna is gradual and the Mahāyāna is sudden. Next, it clarifies that the cognitive [obstacle] is solely Mahāyāna and solely gradual, and only afterwards does it explain the reason for its gradual severing. Since the tenor of the text is already separated, how could it generally explain the cause of gradual severing for the afflictive [obstacle]? Furthermore, the text stating that the afflictive obstacle is severed suddenly by the bodhisattva is already clear in itself; how could the words "taking internal and external as objective supports" manifest the sudden, or conversely explain the gradual? Because of this, it only analyzes the cause of the gradual severing of the cognitive [obstacle], merely indicating its general direction.
