起信論疏筆削記 13.48

13.48

論　修遠離法者，法謂法行，以此法行能破心境，故云遠離。疏　依解成行者，即十住位滿，進十行位也。有解無行，其解必孤，故須依所解處而修行也。尋伺等，即所行之行，信解非淺，其行必深，大車將行，軌轍寧小？然此中意，通明十向及四加行，謂暖、頂二位以四尋伺觀，觀所取名等四法，假有實無，即所取空，是遠離境也；忍、世第一以四如實智印所取空，觀能取空，即遠離心也。廣如前辨。今云等者，等如實觀也。唯識等者，了知諸法唯依妄念而有差別，故行此行而隨順之。故頌云：唯識無境界，以無塵妄見，如人目有翳，見毛月等事。此即資糧位中所修也。

Regarding the treatise's "cultivating the dharma of detachment": "dharma" means dharmic practice; because this dharmic practice can break through mind and sense-objects, it is called detachment. Regarding the commentary's "accomplishing practice in reliance on understanding": that is, when the stage of the ten abodes is complete, one advances to the stage of the ten practices. Having understanding without practice, that understanding must be solitary; hence one must cultivate practice in reliance on what has been understood. Inquiry and investigation and so forth are the practices performed; when faith and understanding are not shallow, the practice must be profound—when a great carriage is about to move, how could its ruts be small? However, the meaning here generally clarifies the ten dedications and the four aids to penetration: namely, in the two stages of heat and summit, through the contemplation of the four inquiries and investigations, one contemplates that the four dharmas such as the apprehended names are conventionally existent but genuinely non-existent, which is the emptiness of the apprehended, the detachment from sense-objects; in the stages of forbearance and supreme mundane dharmas, through the four authentic cognitions, one seals the emptiness of the apprehended and contemplates the emptiness of the grasper, which is the detachment from mind. This is extensively distinguished as before. Now saying "and so forth" means etcetera up to authentic contemplation. Regarding "mind-only and so forth": thoroughly knowing that all dharmas have distinctions only in reliance on false thoughts, one performs this practice to accord with it. Thus the verse says: "Mind-only has no sense-objects, / Because without dust there is false seeing, / Like a person whose eyes have cataracts, / Seeing things such as hairs and moons." This is what is cultivated in the stage of provisioning.
