起信論疏筆削記 6.52

6.52

疏　以體下，體即真如，相即生滅。真如隨緣成生滅，生滅無體即真如，由是反覆言之，故不相離也。金具者，金喻真如，具喻生滅，相收之義在文可見。良以下，結喻例法。良者，實也。以者，由也。實由金具二門未曾有異，故云一揆。揆謂端揆，即齊等也。由不異故，舉金時遍收具盡，具全體是金；舉具時遍收金盡，金全體是具。此義下，例法也。此義者，即此不相離義也。舉真如時遍收生滅盡，生滅全體是真如；舉生滅時遍收真如盡，真如全體是生滅。法喻正等，故云亦然。然，猶如是也。

[On the Commentary's] "Because essence..." below: essence is tathatā, and marks are arising and ceasing. Tathatā follows conditions to form arising and ceasing, and arising and ceasing have no essence and are identical to tathatā; because this is stated vice versa, they are not separate. "Golden vessels": gold exemplifies tathatā, and vessels exemplify arising and ceasing; the meaning of mutual inclusion can be seen in the text. [On] "Truly because..." below, it concludes the metaphor to parallel the doctrine. "Truly" (良) means really. "Because" (以) means due to. It is really due to the fact that the two gates of gold and vessels have never been different; hence it says "one measure" (一揆). "Measure" (揆) means standard, which is equal. Because they are not different, when one mentions gold, it universally includes vessels completely, for the vessels in their entirety are gold; when one mentions vessels, it universally includes gold completely, for the gold in its entirety is the vessel. [On] "This meaning..." below, it parallels the doctrine. "This meaning" is this meaning of being not separate. When one mentions tathatā, it universally includes arising and ceasing completely, for arising and ceasing in their entirety are tathatā; when one mentions arising and ceasing, it universally includes tathatā completely, for tathatā in its entirety is arising and ceasing. The doctrine and the metaphor are precisely equal; hence it says "is also thus." "Thus" (然) means like this.
