起信論疏筆削記 11.68

11.68

順結中，疏　是前等者，此解是故二字。故說等者，三界不出五意，五意唯依一心，故云三界唯心作也。以現識中具有根身種子器世間故，故《楞伽》云：從於無色界，乃至地獄中，普現為眾生，皆是唯心作。現似曰虛者，依他起法，如麻上繩，似有其相，究體不實。詐現曰偽者，遍計所起，如繩上蛇，相畢竟無，分別妄現。唯心作者，如繩蛇無體，不離麻故。《十地經》即《華嚴．十地品》。文云：了知三界依心有，十二因緣亦復然。一切皆由心所作，心若滅者生死盡。

In the direct conclusion, the Commentary says: "Is the preceding..." etc.: this explains the two words 'therefore' (shigu). "Hence it is said..." etc.: the three realms do not go beyond the five consciousnesses, and the five consciousnesses rely solely on the One Mind; hence it is said that "the three realms are mind-only made." Because within the manifesting consciousness, the physical body with faculties, seeds, and the receptacle world are fully present, the Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra says: "From the formless realm down to the hells, all universally manifested as sentient beings are mind-only made." "Manifesting a resemblance is called empty": paratantra dharmas, like a rope upon hemp, seem to possess their marks, but upon investigating their substance, they are unreal. "Falsely appearing is called deceptive": that which arises from parikalpita, like a snake upon a rope, completely lacks marks, and is falsely manifested through conceptual differentiation. "Mind-only made": just as the rope and snake have no substance and are not separate from the hemp. The Daśabhūmika-sūtra is the 'Chapter on the Ten Grounds' of the Avataṃsaka-sūtra. The text says: "One thoroughly understands that the three realms exist dependent on the mind, and the twelve links of dependent origination are also like this. All are made by the mind; if the mind ceases, saṃsāra comes to an end."
