起信論疏筆削記 17.8

17.8

The commentary: "There are three in the commentary notes": in order, these are the practices given rise to by the previous three minds; the earlier and later correspond to each other, as can be known from the text. In the initial heading, "the path of non-abiding," there are two senses: first, "non" is like "without," and "path" is the cause; because it is the causal practice of non-abiding, the root commentary calls it "non-abiding practice." Second, "path" is the nature of tathatā, because this nature originally does not abide. When the two senses are discussed together, they then conform to the intent of the treatise. Because the nature originally does not abide, one complies with it by means of non-abiding practice.
