大乘義章 15.19

15.19

次論成處。所得不失，名為成處。依如《毘曇》，前之六智隨所修得俱不退失，一切處成，無漏生上不失下故。退則不成。盡無生智，隨身成就，更不生故，無他地成。等智之中差別有四：一不善等智，唯欲界成，上界無故。二善等智，在下成上，上不成下，若有生上則失下故。三穢污等智，於一切地未斷處成，斷處不成。四不隱沒無記等智，隨身成就，生上生下悉皆不成。他心智中，無漏他心，但使修得而不退失，一切處成；有漏他心，四禪已還隨身何處在下成上，上不成下。如依初禪所發他心，大梵已還一切處成。依第二禪所發他心，光音已下一切處成。餘類可知。《成實》、大乘，於一切處成就一切，彼說生上不失下故。

Next, the locus of possession is discussed. Retaining what has been attained without losing it is called the locus of possession. According to the Abhidharma, the former six cognitions, wherever they are attained through cultivation, are not lost; they are possessed in all places, because when untainted [states] are reborn above, they do not lose the lower ones. If there is retrogression, however, they are not possessed. The knowledge of exhaustion and non-arising is possessed in accordance with [that specific physical] embodiment, for it is never produced again, and therefore it is not possessed in other realms. Among conventional knowledges, there are four distinctions: (1) Unwholesome conventional knowledge is possessed only in the desire realm, because it does not exist in the higher realms. (2) Wholesome conventional knowledge: while in a lower [realm] one possesses that of the higher, but in a higher [realm] one does not possess that of the lower, because if one is reborn above, one loses the lower. (3) Defiled conventional knowledge is possessed in all realms where it has not yet been severed, and is not possessed where it has been severed. (4) Unobscured indeterminate conventional knowledge is possessed in accordance with [one's physical] embodiment, and whether one is reborn above or below, none [from the other realms] are possessed. Among knowledges of others' minds, untainted knowledge of others' minds is possessed in all places so long as it is cultivated and attained without being lost; tainted knowledge of others' minds, from the four dhyānas on down, is possessed in higher [states] while in the lower according to wherever one is embodied, but in higher [states] one does not possess the lower. For instance, the knowledge of others' minds generated based on the first dhyāna is possessed in all places from the Great Brahmā [heaven] on down. The knowledge of others' minds generated based on the second dhyāna is possessed in all places from the Ābhāsvara [heaven] on down. The rest can be inferred in like manner. According to the Tattvasiddhi and the Mahāyāna, all are possessed in all places, because they teach that being reborn above does not entail losing the lower.
