大乘起信論裂網疏 4.63

4.63

Question: The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi states, 'In the Buddha fruit there is no longer perfuming agent or object of perfuming.' Now it says that because the perfuming of function arises, there is no interruption; how are these to be reconciled? Answer: What is said here about the deluded mind being extinguished and the dharmakāya manifesting is precisely the meaning in the Vijñaptimātratā that the Buddha has no perfuming agent or object of perfuming. When the Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi states, 'Because sentient beings to be transformed are without end, extending to the end of the future, the four wisdom-mind associates are uninterrupted and inexhaustible,' this is precisely the meaning here that the perfuming of function is without interruption. Reflect upon this. The first section, correctly explaining the characteristics of the causes and conditions of arising and ceasing, is finished.
