大乘義章 5.23

5.23

言三漏者，一切煩惱流注不絕，其猶瘡漏，故名為漏，故經說為諸漏瘡疣。漏別不同，一門說三。三名是何？所謂欲漏、有漏、無明漏。如《雜心》云「欲界地中一切煩惱，唯除無明，說為欲漏。上二界中一切煩惱，唯除無明，說為有漏。外道謂彼色無色界是其結盡無漏涅槃，對除彼見，故說為有三界無明名無明漏。」問曰：何故三界無明合為一漏？以彼無明，迷理之心。理相平等不可別分，故能迷心，從之說一。又問：四流四縛等中皆說其見，何故漏中不說見漏？《雜心》釋言「連注之義是其漏義。見心捷疾，於連注義不相順故，不說見漏。」雖不別說，當知攝在前二漏中。然此三漏，通攝二輪一切煩惱。三漏之義，略述如此。

Regarding the "three inflows": all defilements flow forth without cessation, just like the leaking of a sore; hence they are called "inflows." Thus the sūtras describe them as sores and warts of various inflows. Inflows are differentiated differently, but one approach explains three. What are the three names? Namely, the inflow of sensuality (kāmāsrava), the inflow of existence (bhavāsrava), and the inflow of ignorance (avidyāsrava). As the *Saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya* states: "All defilements in the realm of desire, with the sole exception of ignorance, are called the inflow of sensuality. All defilements in the upper two realms, with the sole exception of ignorance, are called the inflow of existence. Non-Buddhists maintain that the form and formless realms constitute the nirvāṇa without outflow where fetters are exhausted; in order to counteract and eliminate that view, it is designated as 'existence.' Ignorance throughout the three realms is called the inflow of ignorance." Question: Why is the ignorance of the three realms combined into a single inflow? Because that ignorance is a mind deluded about the principle. The characteristic of the principle is uniform and cannot be separately divided; hence the mind capable of being deluded [about it] is spoken of as one in accordance with it. Another question: Views are mentioned in the contexts of the four currents, the four bonds, and so forth; why then is an inflow of views not spoken of among the inflows? The *Saṃyuktābhidharma-hṛdaya* explains: "The sense of flowing continuously is the meaning of inflow. The mind of views is swift, and because it does not accord with the sense of continuous flowing, an inflow of views is not spoken of." Although not separately stated, it should be understood that it is subsumed under the former two inflows. Furthermore, these three inflows universally subsume all defilements across the two turnings (of seeing and cultivating). The meaning of the three inflows is briefly stated as such.
