二、委釋。論　以垢等者，謂眾生從無始來，背覺合塵，於色聲等一切法上，起貪瞋等無量煩惱諸垢染法。今既覺知過患，宜起對治。所治之垢既多，能治之善寧一？其猶病多，藥非一種，故修一切行也。《金剛》亦云：以無我無人修一切善法，則得阿耨菩提等。

Second, detailed explanation. The treatise: "Because defilements, etc.": Sentient beings from beginningless time have turned away from enlightenment and united with dust, giving rise to boundless defilements and stained dharmas such as greed and anger upon all dharmas like sights and sounds. Now, having awakened to and recognized these faults and perils, they ought to raise counteractions. Since the defilements to be counteracted are many, could the good qualities that counteract them be singular? It is like diseases being many, for which medicines cannot be of a single kind; hence, one cultivates all practices. The Diamond Sūtra also says: "Cultivating all good dharmas through selflessness and the absence of a person, one then attains anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi," and so forth.
