釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 10.12

10.12

復次，多有人言：「背捨即是解脫之異名。」今用《摩訶衍》意往撿，此義不然。所以者何？如《大品經》云：「菩薩依八背捨，入九次第定。」身證阿那含人雖得九次第定，而不得受具足八解之名。故知因中厭離煩惱，名背捨；後具足觀、鍊、熏、修，發真無漏，三界結盡，爾時背捨轉名解脫。如此說者，義則可依。

Furthermore, many people say: 'Turning away and relinquishing is simply another name for liberation.' Now examining this in the light of the Mahāyāna, this view is incorrect. Why is that? As the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra states: 'The bodhisattva relies on the eight liberations to enter the nine sequential absorptions.' Although an anāgāmin who personally realizes [the body] attains the nine sequential absorptions, they do not receive the title of possessing the eight full liberations. Thus we know that in the causal stage, disgust with and turning away from afflictions is called 'turning away and relinquishing'; later, when one completes contemplation, refining, permeating, and cultivating, generating genuine undefiledness, and the fetters of the three realms are exhausted, at that time 'turning away and relinquishing' transforms and is named 'liberation.' What is stated like this has a meaning that can be relied upon.
