釋禪波羅蜜次第法門 4.22

4.22

Second, regarding the manifestation of the delusion of reckoning existence and nonexistence: Also when cultivating concentration, one suddenly discriminates, reflects, and deliberates, thinking: 'Do the present self, aggregates, and other dharmas definitely exist? Or do they definitely not exist? Up to: are they neither existent nor nonexistent?' Inferring in this way, a mind of views arises, and following the view one generates attachment, taking it to be definitely real corrupt awareness, not resting for a thought-moment. Relying on this, with swift sharp intellect, frivolous disputes, and contentious competition, one gives rise to various corrupt actions, obstructing correct concentration so that it cannot unfold. This is the mark of the manifestation of the delusion of reckoning existence and nonexistence.
