成唯識論演祕 4.97

4.97

This is Asaṅga's text. Asabhāva's commentary explains: 'Having thus clarified that in the desire realm, if apart from the ālaya-consciousness, linking up birth in succession cannot be established, neither can it be established in the form or formless realms. Now it will be demonstrated. 'If passing away from here and so on' means dying in the desire realm and being born in a higher realm. 'Due to being non-concentrated and so on' means being associated with afflictions such as craving for and tasting the absorption of that plane.'
