起信論疏筆削記 6.26

6.26

三、用大，疏二：初、釋文。隨染業行者，謂隨彼彼染幻眾生，起利他行，即是如來不思議業，故云業行。若將隨染門中反染之業行為此用大者，恐非文意，以彼但是能顯之淨法，未可便將為所顯故，學者詳之。報身，即三賢已上之所見者。化身，即二乘十信已下之所見者。麁即化身，隨類各應，各見不同，非受樂相故。細者報體，平等佛身，身有無量色，色有無量相好，所住依果亦復無量，種種莊嚴具足樂相故。世善者，謂有漏熏習善根力，故起十善等，此但有漏，不逾人天，故名世也。出也者，令厭生死，樂求涅槃，此皆無漏，超過三界，故言出世也。於中雖通三乘，究竟唯以一乘而得滅度。下文用大，廣顯其相。

Third, the greatness of function. The Commentary has two parts: first, explaining the text. "Karmic actions that accord with defilement" refers to giving rise to altruistic practices in accordance with various defiled, illusory sentient beings, which are precisely the inconceivable karmic actions of the Tathāgata; hence they are called "karmic actions." If one were to take the karmic actions of reversing defilement within the gate of according with defilement as this greatness of function, that would probably not be the intent of the text, because those are merely the pure dharmas that can reveal, and should not yet be taken as what is revealed; scholars should examine this carefully. The sambhogakāya is what is seen by those from the three stages of worthies and above. The nirmāṇakāya is what is seen by those of the two vehicles and the ten stages of faith and below. The "coarse" is the nirmāṇakāya, which responds individually according to type, seen differently by each, because it is not an attribute of experiencing bliss. The "subtle" is the sambhoga essence, the equal Buddha body, in which the body has immeasurable forms, each form has immeasurable marks and signs, and the environmental fruit in which it dwells is also immeasurable, because it is complete with various adornments and the mark of bliss. "Mundane wholesome" means that through the power of the anāsrava-vāsanā [cultivating] wholesome roots, one gives rise to the ten wholesome actions and so forth; this is merely sāsrava and does not transcend human and heavenly realms, so it is called mundane. "Supramundane" means causing one to weary of saṃsāra and joyfully seek nirvāṇa; these are all anāsrava and transcend the three realms, hence it is called supramundane. Although this extends throughout the three vehicles, ultimate extinction is attained solely through the One Vehicle. The greatness of function in the text below broadly reveals its characteristics.
