成唯識論演祕 5.138

5.138

Explanation: Being able to correctly deliberate upon pure intentional objects, skillful intentional objects, or both, is called discerning phenomena. Discerning the true nature of suchness within the preceding three intentional objects is called most supremely discerning; discerning the essence of all suffering in the sūtras with respect to the truth of suffering and the distinct marks of suffering is called discerning phenomena supremely. Thoroughly investigating the intentional object is called fully knowing. Inquiring into the previously fully known intentional object with fine detail, becoming gradually truer and closer, is called closely knowing. Discerning mind and mental factors is called spot-knowing. Knowing the intentional objects of mind and mental factors is called penetrating. Being able to definitively apprehend all that exists is called investigating. Not forgetting that meaning successively from first to last is called acute comprehension. Innate wisdom capable of discernment is called awakening. Acquired wisdom through cultivation is called brightness; that is, being able to recite, question, debate, and determine, thereby becoming increasingly lucid with respect to the meaning, is called action of wisdom. Vipaśyanā is translated here as contemplation (guan), as explained extensively in the Great Treatise.
