起信論疏筆削記 18.49

18.49

論　誠心者，以諸障起時心皆猛惡，故今除遣必在虔誠，故《智論》云：身精進為小，心精進為大；外精進為小，內精進為大。猶如赫日可以消堅氷，烈風可以摧巨木，苟有至誠，必能動天地、感鬼神故，使事不違願也。懺悔者，陳露先罪，改往修來。疏　除惡業者，三障四障也，得依正具足故。論　勸請者，於中有請轉法輪、請佛住世之異，今通而言之，但云勸請。疏　除謗法障者，得多聞智慧。論　隨喜者，三乘四類所有片善，皆隨順歡喜。疏　除嫉妬障者，得廣大眷屬。論　向菩提者，亦合迴向實際及與眾生，意含此二。疏　除樂三有障者，成廣大善也。

Treatise: "With a sincere mind": because when all obstacles arise the mind is fierce and unwholesome, eliminating them now must reside in reverent sincerity. Thus the *Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa* says: "Bodily vigor is small; mental vigor is great. External vigor is small; internal vigor is great." Just as a blazing sun can melt solid ice, and a fierce wind can fell a giant tree, if there is utmost sincerity, it will surely move heaven and earth and affect ghosts and spirits, causing matters not to counter one's vow. "Repent and reform": confessing past transgressions and reforming the past to cultivate the future. Commentary: "Eliminating unwholesome karma": the three obstacles and four obstacles, because one obtains the completeness of primary and secondary [retribution]. Treatise: "Entreat": within this there are the distinctions of requesting the turning of the wheel of Dharma and requesting the Buddha to remain in the world; here speaking comprehensively, it merely says "entreat." Commentary: "Eliminating the obstacle of slandering the Dharma": one obtains much learning and wisdom. Treatise: "Rejoice": one complies with and rejoices in whatever shred of goodness belongs to the three vehicles and four types of beings. Commentary: "Eliminating the obstacle of jealousy": one obtains a vast retinue. Treatise: "Direct toward bodhi": it should also include dedicating toward the limit of reality and toward sentient beings; the intention encompasses both. Commentary: "Eliminating the obstacle of delighting in the three realms of existence": it accomplishes vast goodness.
