起信論疏筆削記 7.9

7.9

軌生下，三、釋法門。軌謂軌則，物謂眾生，解即智解。謂諸眾生內有熏習之力，於此法界體上生始覺智。智起反照，常依法界軌則而修，即不空不有、無我無人等，是法界軌則，始覺之智依而行之。故下文云：順本性故修檀波羅蜜等。《圓覺》亦云：流出波羅蜜等，教授菩薩。然法更有任持之義，今以順文，唯取斯義。聖智等者，謂法體虛通，以能容彼聖智出入，故受門稱。遊即出入也，謂入則自證、出則利他，佛及菩薩皆有二義。然唯局登地已上，乃至究竟，不通凡位，故云聖智。以地前未發無漏，未能親證，故前科云觀智境也。

[On] "Serving as a standard to generate..." below: third, explaining "dharma gate" (法門). "Standard" (軌) means rule; "things" (物) means sentient beings; "understanding" (解) means cognitive understanding. This means that sentient beings possess the power of internal perfuming, so that on the essence of this dharmadhātu they generate the wisdom of actualized enlightenment. When wisdom arises, it reflects back, constantly cultivating in accordance with the standard of the dharmadhātu—namely, being neither empty nor existent, without self and without person, and so on; these are the standards of the dharmadhātu, which the wisdom of actualized enlightenment relies upon to practice. Thus the text below says: "In accordance with the fundamental nature, one cultivates the dāna-pāramitā," and so on. The Yuanjue jing also says: "Flowing forth the pāramitās and so forth, instructing bodhisattvas." However, dharma also has the meaning of "maintaining"; now, to accord with the text, he takes only this [former] meaning. [On] "Noble wisdom..." and so on: it means that the essence of the dharma is open and unobstructed, and because it can accommodate the entering and exiting of that noble wisdom, it receives the designation "gate." "Roaming" (遊) means entering and exiting; entering means self-realization, and exiting means benefiting others; both Buddhas and bodhisattvas possess these two meanings. However, this is restricted exclusively to those who have ascended the bhūmis and above, up to the ultimate; it does not extend to the stages of ordinary beings, which is why it says "noble wisdom." Because those prior to the bhūmis have not yet generated the uncontaminated and are unable to directly realize it, the preceding section heading called it the "realm of contemplative wisdom."
