起信論疏筆削記 3.6

3.6

From "Under delusion..." below: this is the meaning in the preface of "ascending or descending following delusion or awakening." "Understanding" is initial awakening; "awakening" is realization and entry. Hence the sūtra says: "The realm from beginningless time / is the equal reliance of all dharmas; / due to this there exist all destinies / as well as the attainment of nirvāṇa." This is precisely that meaning. The commentary text is self-evident.
