9.26

是故下，四、總結前說。唯一夢心，喻也。如有一人（真如）忽然睡著（無明），作夢（業相）見（轉相）種種事（現相），起心分別（智相），念念無間（相續），於其違順深生取著（執取），為善為惡、是親是疎（計名），於善於親則種種惠利，於惡於疎則種種陵損（起業）；或有報恩受樂，或遭報怨受苦（業繫苦相）。忽然覺來，上事都遣，當知此事唯一夢心。皆因等者，法也。九相之興皆依此力，如依於睡有諸夢事。經云下，引證，即《勝鬘經》也。彼云：世尊！如是無明住地力，於有愛數四住地，無明住地其力最大。《大論》云：譬如大地有勝力故，持四重擔，故名住地，一大海、二諸山、三草木、四眾生。無明亦爾，於五住地中此最難除，故知力大。下文則九相末都結之文。

"Therefore..." below: Fourth, concluding the previous explanation. "Only a single dreaming mind" is the metaphor. For example, there is a person (tathatā) who suddenly falls asleep (avidyā), dreams (mark of karma), sees (mark of transformation) various things (mark of manifestation), gives rise to mental discrimination (mark of cognition), uninterrupted thought after thought (continuation), gives rise to deep grasping and attachment toward favorable and adverse conditions (grasping), takes them as good or evil, near or distant (conceptualizing names), provides various benefits toward the good and the near, and commits various violations and injuries toward the evil and the distant (generating karma); or receives joy from repaying kindness, or undergoes suffering from facing revenge (mark of suffering bound to karma). Suddenly waking up, the above matters are all dispelled; one should know that these matters were only a single dreaming mind. As for "All due to..." etc.: this is the dharma. The arising of the nine marks all relies on this power, just as all dream events rely on sleep. "A sūtra says..." below: adducing proof, which is the Śremālādevī-sūtra. It says: "World-Honoured One! The power of such an avidyā entrenchment-stage is the greatest in power among the four entrenchment-stages of the category of craving for existence." The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśā says: "For example, because the great earth has superior power, it bears four heavy burdens, and is therefore called an 'abiding ground' (bhūmi): first, the great ocean; second, the mountains; third, the grasses and trees; fourth, sentient beings. Avidyā is also like this; among the five entrenchment-stages, this is the most difficult to eliminate, hence we know its power is great." The subsequent text is the text concluding the end of the nine marks.
