摩訶止觀 5.215

5.215

法塵對意根生一念心起，即因成假；前念後念次第不斷，即相續假；待餘無心，知有此心，即相待假。上「因成」約外塵、內根；「相續」但約內根；「相待」竪待滅無之無，又橫待三無為之無心也。

When a mental object faces the mind faculty and a single thought-moment arises, that is the provisionality of conditioned arising. The sequential, unbroken succession of prior thought-moments and subsequent thought-moments is the provisionality of continuity. In relativity to other absences of mind, knowing that this mind exists is the provisionality of relativity. Above, "conditioned arising" is explained in terms of external objects and internal faculties; "continuity" is explained only in terms of the internal faculty; "relativity" vertically is relative to the nonexistence of cessation, and horizontally is relative to the mindless state of the three unconditioned phenomena.
