2.55

八問：鈔釋理毒，何以都不陳理之相，便云今觀諸法唯心、染體悉淨，即神呪治理毒也。此語為釋理性所消伏耶？為解理性能消伏耶？若解所消理毒，為指染體耶？為指染用耶？若指染用，必是五住，自屬約行矣。若指染體，又非性惡，一家所談性惡法門擬指何物耶？

Eighth Question: In explaining principle poison, why does the Chao not present the aspect of principle at all, but immediately says: 'Now contemplating that all dharmas are mind-only, and the defiled substance is entirely pure, is the divine dhāraṇī curing principle poison'? Is this statement explaining that which is to be extinguished and subdued of the nature of principle, or is it explaining that which can extinguish and subdue of the nature of principle? If it explains the principle poison to be extinguished, does it point to the defiled substance, or to the defiled function? If it points to the defiled function, it must be the five entrenchments, and naturally belongs to practice. If it points to the defiled substance, yet is not nature-evil, what thing is the Dharma-gate of nature-evil discussed by our school intended to point to?
