起信論疏筆削記 8.11

8.11

疏　此是下，揀濫。不生滅與生滅合者，謂真隨妄轉，流轉門也，即背覺合塵義。非是等者，謂息妄歸真，還滅門也，即滅塵合覺義。然此二中隨合則體隱相現，反合則相泯體彰，故前門云：一切法悉皆真故，皆同如故。此反合也。此門即云：依如來藏故有生滅心。又云：依覺故迷等。此隨合也。由是疏中前義即生滅門，後義即真如門。

The Commentary states: 'This is…' and so forth is eliminating confusion. The harmonization of non-arising and non-ceasing with arising and ceasing refers to the real turning in accordance with the deluded, which is the gate of transmigration—namely, the meaning of turning away from enlightenment to merge with the dust of defilement. 'It is not…' and so forth refers to resting delusion to return to the real, which is the gate of return to cessation—namely, the meaning of extinguishing dust to merge with enlightenment. However, in these two, in conforming harmonization the essence is concealed and the marks manifest; in reversing harmonization the marks disappear and the essence is revealed. Therefore the preceding gate states: 'Because all dharmas are completely real, they are all identical to tathatā.' This is reversing harmonization. This present gate states: 'In reliance on the tathāgatagarbha, there is the mind of arising and ceasing.' And it further states: 'Delusion relies on enlightenment', and so forth. This is conforming harmonization. For this reason, the former meaning in the Commentary is the arising and ceasing gate, and the latter meaning is the tathatā gate.
