大乘義章 4.55

4.55

次就三性分別。諸根性者，所謂善、惡、無記。信等五根、三無漏根，一向是善。男根女根，一向無記。意根一種，該通三性。眼等五根，大小不同。小乘法中一向無記；大乘不定，法身眼等體性是善，餘皆無記。命根一種，論說不同。若依《毘曇》，命是報法，一向無記。若依《成實》，說過去業以為命根，唯善與惡，不通無記。人天命根，是善非惡。三途命根，是惡非善。大乘不定，法身之命體性是善，餘皆無記。五受根者，毘曇法中，憂通善惡，不通無記。論自釋言「方便生故，非報無記、非習學法，非是威儀、工巧、變化。餘通三性。」成實法中，所說不定。受陰之中，一切五受悉是無記。行中義說，該通三性。大乘法中，文無定判，隨義以推，五受之根並通三性。憂慮世事非損益者，是無記憂，餘同毘曇（此二門竟）。

Next is distinguishing [the faculties] in terms of the three natures. Regarding the natures of the faculties, they are the so-called wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate. The five faculties of faith and so forth, as well as the three untainted faculties, are purely wholesome. The male faculty and the female faculty are purely indeterminate. The single mind faculty encompasses all three natures. The five faculties of the eye and so forth differ between the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna: in the Hīnayāna teachings they are purely indeterminate; in the Mahāyāna they are not fixed, for the eyes and so forth of the dharmakāya have wholesome essential natures, while the rest are all indeterminate. The single life faculty is explained differently in the treatises: according to the Abhidharma, life is a karmic retribution dharma and is purely indeterminate; according to the Tattvasiddhi, past karma is explained as the life faculty, so it is solely wholesome or unwholesome, not admitting indeterminacy—the life faculty of humans and devas is wholesome and not unwholesome, while the life faculty of the three bad destinies is unwholesome and not wholesome; in the Mahāyāna it is not fixed, for the life of the dharmakāya has a wholesome essential nature, while the rest are all indeterminate. As for the five faculties of feeling, in the Abhidharma doctrine grief comprises wholesome and unwholesome, but does not admit indeterminacy. The treatise itself explains: 'Because it is born from expedient effort, it is neither retribution-indeterminate nor a learned dharma, nor is it [indeterminate in] comportment, technical craft, or magical projection. The others encompass all three natures.' In the Tattvasiddhi doctrine, what is stated is not uniform: within the feeling aggregate, all five feelings are entirely indeterminate; when explained in terms of the formations [aggregate], they encompass all three natures. In the Mahāyāna doctrine, there is no fixed determination in the texts; deducing according to the principle, the five feeling faculties all encompass all three natures. Sorrowing over worldly affairs that are neither harmful nor beneficial is indeterminate grief; the rest is identical to the Abhidharma. (This completes the second section.)
