大乘起信論義疏 2.5

2.5

How does it hinder the real? As the Vimalakīrtinirdeśa states: 'Quiescence is bodhi, because it extinguishes all marks.' This wisdom is a mark; therefore it is an obstruction. 'Non-contemplation is bodhi, because it is free from all conditions.' This wisdom is conditioned; therefore it is an obstruction. 'Non-action is bodhi, because it is without recollection.' This wisdom recollects; therefore it is an obstruction. 'Severance is bodhi, because it severs all dogmatic affirmations.' This wisdom is a view; therefore it is an obstruction. 'Separation is bodhi, because it is separated from conceptualization.' This wisdom is conceptualization; therefore it is an obstruction. 'Obstruction is bodhi, because it obstructs all vows.' This wisdom is a vow; therefore it is an obstruction. Bodhi is true luminosity; this wisdom is dark in nature; therefore it is an obstruction. Just as worldly pleasant feeling is in its nature the suffering of conditioned existence, such faults cannot be detailed fully; because they all contradict the virtue of the real, they are spoken of as obstructions.
