大乘義章 3.85

3.85

次就真識明修分齊。真識之中，約緣有三：一者染相，與彼煩惱闇惑相應。二雜染相，真心與彼緣治相應。三者淨相，離妄始顯。若論染相，種性已上漸次息除，至佛乃窮。若復通論，十信已上亦有捨義。第二雜相，初地漸捨，至佛乃盡。若復通論，種性已上亦有捨義。故《地持》云「種性菩薩，六入殊勝，無始法爾。」第三淨相，八地漸捨，至佛乃窮。故八地中，觀法無生無滅無出，知一切法畢竟平等，無有染相亦無淨相。若復通論，初地已上亦捨淨相。故《大品》中宣說：初地得無生忍，證法本如，不見先染後息為淨，無取無捨，如如平等。修捨如是。

Next, explaining the demarcation of cultivation and relinquishment in terms of the true consciousness. Within the true consciousness, there are three [aspects] according to conditions: first, the defiled aspect, which is associated with the dark delusion of afflictions; second, the mixed-defiled aspect, where the true mind is associated with conditioned counteragents; third, the pure aspect, which is initially manifested upon separation from delusion. As for the defiled aspect, it is gradually ceased and eliminated from the lineage [stage] onward, being exhausted only upon reaching buddhahood. If discussed generally, there is also the sense of relinquishing it from the ten faiths onward. As for the second, the mixed aspect, it is gradually relinquished from the initial stage and exhausted upon reaching buddhahood. If discussed generally, there is also the sense of relinquishing it from the lineage [stage] onward. Therefore, the Bodhisattvabhūmi states: "A bodhisattva of the lineage possesses the superiority of the six sense-bases, which is naturally so from beginningless time." As for the third, the pure aspect, it is gradually relinquished in the eighth stage and exhausted only upon reaching buddhahood. Thus, in the eighth stage, one contemplates phenomena as without arising, without ceasing, and without emergence, knowing that all phenomena are ultimately equal, having neither defiled aspects nor pure aspects. If discussed generally, one also relinquishes the pure aspect from the initial stage onward. Therefore, it is proclaimed in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā: upon attaining anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti in the initial stage, one realizes that phenomena are fundamentally as such, seeing neither prior defilement nor subsequent cessation as purity, being without grasping or relinquishing, equal in suchness. Cultivation and relinquishment are like this.
