摩訶止觀 9.98

9.98

今既發因緣法，故約之明止觀，例為十意（云云）。思議境者：過去無明心中作於黑業諸不善行，成三途界；作諸白業及不動業，成三善界。若轉無明為生滅明，名「下智觀」，得聲聞菩提。轉有漏行為出世助道行，七種學人殘業未盡，猶生善界。若無學用無漏業及著真諦，愛與根本無明合，生方便土，受彼名色，於彼愛、瞋而起取、有，是聲聞界。若翻無明為不生不滅之明，是則中智，得緣覺菩提。《請觀音》云：「觀十二因緣如夢、幻、芭蕉，成緣覺道。」意在於此。轉有漏行為無漏助道，結業盡、不盡，同前，是為緣覺界。若轉無明為般若、轉不善行為五度，以未發真，猶具界內十二因緣，是六度界。若轉無明為空慧，轉行為六度，六、七地前斷惑未盡，皆同前。斷盡生彼，福慧小勝耳，是名「中智觀」，得通教菩提。若轉無明為次第明，轉行為歷別行，十信、住斷未盡，十行、向斷盡，皆同前。是名上智觀，故得別教菩提。

Now that the phenomena of causes and conditions have arisen, we elucidate calming and contemplation on their basis, patterned into the ten intentions (and so forth). As for the conceivable realm: in the past, performing black karma and various unwholesome actions within a mind of ignorance formed the realms of the three evil paths; performing various white karmas and unmoving karma formed the three wholesome realms. If one transforms ignorance into the illumination of arising and ceasing, this is called 'contemplation with lower wisdom', attaining śrāvaka bodhi. Transforming contaminated actions into supramundane actions that assist the path, seven kinds of learners who have residual karma not yet exhausted are still born into the wholesome realms. If the non-learners use uncontaminated karma and cling to the ultimate truth, craving combines with fundamental ignorance, and they are born into the land of expedients, receiving name-and-form there, and arouse grasping and becoming through craving and anger toward that—this is the śrāvaka realm. If one overturns ignorance into the illumination of neither arising nor ceasing, this is middling wisdom, attaining pratyekabuddha bodhi. The Qing Guanyin jing says: 'Contemplating the twelve links of dependent origination as like a dream, an illusion, or a plantain tree, one accomplishes the pratyekabuddha path.' The intention lies in this. Transforming contaminated actions into uncontaminated assistance to the path, whether fettering karma is exhausted or not exhausted is the same as before; this is the pratyekabuddha realm. If one transforms ignorance into prajñā and transforms unwholesome actions into the five perfections, because genuine [insight] has not yet arisen, one still possesses the twelve links of dependent origination within the three realms; this is the six-perfections realm. If one transforms ignorance into empty wisdom and transforms actions into the six perfections, prior to the sixth and seventh stages the severing of delusions is not yet exhausted, all being the same as before. When severing is exhausted they are born there, their merit and wisdom being slightly superior; this is called 'contemplation with middling wisdom', attaining the bodhi of the shared teaching. If one transforms ignorance into sequential illumination and transforms actions into discrete practices, with the severing in the ten faiths and ten abodes not yet exhausted, while in the ten practices and ten dedications the severing is exhausted, all being the same as before—this is called contemplation with superior wisdom, thereby attaining the bodhi of the distinctive teaching.
