大乘義章 2.47

2.47

次約五趣而為分別。《毘婆沙》說，一切凡夫於五趣中所有五識，得非數滅。是義云何？隨身所在，餘一切處五塵境界所生五識，永不生故。此處五塵，餘處眾生亦不得緣，故彼五識亦非數滅。問曰：意識何故不論？於一切處所有境界，彼此意識得互相緣，非不生法，為是不說。於惡道分已斷離者，得非數滅。何行能斷？論言「或有布施持戒聞思修不淨觀安般念等，或有修慧修學𤏙等，能斷惡道得非數滅。」於中得滅，前却不定。若自在者，修前善根即斷惡道，得非數滅。利根不退，名自在者。若鈍根者，至忍心時方始得滅。問曰：所斷三惡道分，為當一時得非數滅？為次第得？有人宣說：一時得之。評者：不定。若修施戒聞思等善，能斷處得，所未斷處則不得之。若修達分無漏善根斷惡道者，於三惡道一時頓得，非數滅矣。人天二道有能永斷更不受者，得非數滅。其中前却，後門更論。約趣如是（此四門竟）。

Next, differentiation according to the five destinies. The Vibhāṣā says that all ordinary persons obtain non-analytical cessation with respect to all five consciousnesses within the five destinies. What does this mean? Because wherever one's body may be, the five consciousnesses that would be produced in relation to the objects of the five dusts in all other places will never arise. As for the five dusts of this place, sentient beings of other places also cannot cognize them as objects, and therefore those five consciousnesses are also non-analytical cessation. Question: Why is mental consciousness not discussed? Because with respect to all objects in all places, each other's mental consciousnesses can cognize them mutually and they are not dharmas that will never arise; that is why it is not mentioned. Those who have already severed and separated from the portions of the evil destinies obtain non-analytical cessation. What practice can sever them? The treatise says: 'There are those who, by giving, observing precepts, hearing, reflecting, cultivating, the contemplation of impurity, mindfulness of breathing (ānāpāna-smṛti), and so forth, or by cultivating wisdom and practicing Heat and so forth, are able to sever the evil destinies and obtain non-analytical cessation.' Among these, obtaining cessation may be earlier or later and is not fixed. If one is autonomous, upon cultivating the former wholesome roots one immediately severs the evil destinies and obtains non-analytical cessation. Those of sharp faculties who are non-regressing are called autonomous. If one is of dull faculties, only upon reaching the mind of forbearance does one begin to obtain cessation. Question: As for the severed portions of the three evil destinies, does one obtain non-analytical cessation all at once, or does one obtain it gradually? Some declare that one obtains it all at once. The evaluator says: It is not fixed. If one cultivates the wholesome [practices] of giving, precepts, hearing, reflecting, and so forth, one obtains it where one is able to sever, but where one has not yet severed, one does not obtain it. If one cultivates the untainted wholesome roots of the aids to penetration and severs the evil destinies, one obtains non-analytical cessation with respect to the three evil destinies all at once. If there are those who can permanently sever the two destinies of humans and gods so as never to undergo them again, they obtain non-analytical cessation. The earlier and later among them will be discussed further in a later gate. Such is [the explanation] according to destinies. (This completes the fourth gate.)
