起信論疏筆削記 15.15

15.15

疏　問佛身下，二、廣陳問答，通有十四：今初、佛身凡識不分難也。眾生識者，以論云不知轉識現故，意明佛身是轉識所現，而凡小不知。今問意云：轉識有漏，屬於眾生。應身無漏，自屬於佛。何故淨身唯茲染識，豈非凡聖染淨不分耶？

[Regarding the text of the] commentary: From "Question: The Buddha's body..." downward, 2. A detailed presentation of questions and answers, having fourteen in total: First, the objection that the Buddha's body and worldlings' consciousness are not distinguished. As for "sentient beings' consciousness", because the śāstra states that they do not know it is manifested by the transforming consciousness (pravṛtti-vijñāna), the intent is to clarify that the Buddha's body is manifested by the transforming consciousness, yet worldlings and followers of the Hinayana do not know this. Now the intent of the question is: the transforming consciousness is with outflows (sāsrava) and belongs to sentient beings. The responsive body is without outflows (anāsrava) and naturally belongs to the Buddha. Why is the pure body [said to be] only this defiled consciousness? Is this not failing to distinguish between worldling and sage, defiled and pure?
