摩訶止觀 2.87

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.2.87)

云何為觀？若貪欲起，諦觀貪欲有四種相：未貪欲、欲貪欲、正貪欲、貪欲已。為當未貪欲滅，欲貪欲生？為當未貪欲不滅，欲貪欲生？亦滅亦不滅，欲貪欲生？非滅非不滅，欲貪欲生？

> How is contemplation performed? When greed arises, carefully contemplate that greed has four phases: not yet greed, about to be greed, actively greed, and having been greed. Does 'about to be greed' arise when 'not yet greed' ceases? Or does 'about to be greed' arise when 'not yet greed' has not ceased? Does 'about to be greed' arise both when it ceases and does not cease? Does 'about to be greed' arise neither when it ceases nor does not cease?
