起信論疏筆削記 20.19

20.19

對障中，疏　治二過等者，凡夫不知諸法自性無生，見有人法而起貪愛，樂住世間。今修止道，令知法本不然，今則無滅，自然見三界虛妄，如虛空華不樂住著也。二乘得之，見法無我，於苦不怖，豈欲速取寂滅涅槃耶？以止下，釋所以，可知。正治二乘者，以二乘一向沈空，以空為證，怖懼生死，但求自利，不起利他，不成佛法。今修觀道，知一切法因緣和合，虛妄有生；因緣別離，虛妄名滅，知病識藥，即起諸幻，以除幻者，變化諸幻而開幻眾。此則自然離於陜劣之見，而起大悲，普能救濟也。若凡夫得之，則能知無常、苦、空、無我、不淨，而修諸善行，以修觀門，不壞緣法，能除此障。

Under "Countering obstacles," the Commentary says: "Curing the two faults..." Ordinary beings do not know that the own-nature of all dharmas is unproduced; seeing persons and dharmas, they give rise to craving and delight in dwelling in the world. Now, cultivating the path of calming causes them to know that dharmas are originally not so and now are without cessation; naturally they see the three realms as false and illusory, like flowers in the sky, and do not delight in dwelling in or clinging to them. When those of the two vehicles attain this, they see dharmas as without self and are not terrified by suffering; how would they wish to quickly take quiescent nirvāṇa? From "Because calming..." below, it explains the reason, which is understood. "Directly curing the two vehicles": because the two vehicles solely sink into emptiness, taking emptiness as realization, terrified of saṃsāra, they seek only self-benefit and do not give rise to benefiting others, not accomplishing the Buddhadharma. Now, cultivating the path of insight, they know that all dharmas, through the harmonious conjunction of causes and conditions, falsely have arising, and through the separation of causes and conditions, falsely have cessation; knowing illness and recognizing medicine, they manifest various illusions to eliminate the illusion-maker, transforming various illusions to enlighten illusory multitudes. This naturally frees them from narrow and inferior views and gives rise to great compassion, universally capable of rescue. If ordinary beings attain this, they can know impermanence, suffering, emptiness, non-self, and impurity, and cultivate all wholesome practices; by cultivating the gate of insight, they do not destroy conditioned dharmas and are able to eliminate this obstacle.
