起信論疏筆削記 7.10

7.10

論　所謂下，三、釋成。釋法體者，論云心性，性即體也。反顯心相不妨生滅，即屬後門。隨妄不生者，隨無明九相之妄，妄生而心性不生。約治不滅者，約始覺反流四位治染，妄滅而心性不滅。此約妄生妄滅，顯心性不生滅也。修起不生者，修行顯起大智慧光明等，及十力等功德生，而心性不生。處染不滅者，處於生滅垢染，十力等功德滅，而心性不滅。此約淨生淨滅，顯心性不生滅也。世間不破者，明真如流轉世間，世間有破而真如不破，不破即不變義。故下疏云：在染不破。出世間不盡者，謂修行故，真如顯出世間，世間盡而真如不盡，故下疏云：治道不壞也。

[Treatise:] "What is called..." [Commentary:] Third, explaining and completing [the definition]. Explaining the essence of the dharma: the treatise says "the nature of the mind," and "nature" means essence. By counter-implication, this shows that the marks of the mind do not preclude arising and ceasing, which pertains to the latter gate. "Following delusion, it does not arise": following the delusion of the nine marks of fundamental ignorance, though delusion arises, the nature of the mind does not arise. "Relative to remedies, it does not cease": relative to the counter-flow through the four stages of actualized enlightenment remedying defilement, though delusion ceases, the nature of the mind does not cease. This reveals the non-arising and non-ceasing of the nature of the mind relative to the arising of delusion and the ceasing of delusion. "Produced through cultivation, it does not arise": through cultivation, the great light of wisdom and so forth are manifested and arise, and merits such as the ten powers arise, yet the nature of the mind does not arise. "Dwelling in defilement, it does not cease": dwelling amid the defilements of arising and ceasing, merits such as the ten powers cease, yet the nature of the mind does not cease. This reveals the non-arising and non-ceasing of the nature of the mind relative to pure arising and pure ceasing. "In the world, it is not broken": this clarifies that when tathatā transmigrates in the world, the world undergoes destruction, but tathatā is not broken; "not broken" means unchanging. Therefore the commentary below says: "Dwelling in defilement, it is not broken." "Transcending the world, it is not exhausted": this means that through cultivation, tathatā transcends the world and becomes manifest; the world is exhausted, but tathatā is not exhausted. Therefore the commentary below says: "The path of remedies does not perish."
