摩訶止觀 5.111

5.111

問：心起必託緣，為心具三千法？為緣具？為共具？為離具？若心具者，心起不用緣；若緣具者，緣具不關心；若共具者，未共各無，共時安有？若離具者，既離心、離緣，那忽心具？四句尚不可得，云何具三千法耶？

Question: When the mind arises it must rely on conditions. Does the mind possess the three thousand dharmas? Do conditions possess them? Do they possess them jointly? Or do they possess them separately? If the mind possesses them, the arising of the mind would not require conditions; if conditions possess them, the possession by conditions would have nothing to do with the mind; if they possess them jointly, when not yet conjoined each lacks them, so when conjoined how could they exist? If they possess them separately, being apart from both mind and conditions, how could the mind possess them? Since the four propositions cannot even be obtained, how can it possess the three thousand dharmas?
