請觀世音菩薩消伏毒害陀羅尼三昧儀 1.12

1.12

（理解者，疏云：「地是一實相地。若與薩婆若相應心合，名為投地。若離薩婆若而起五陰，此是平倚，毒害不消，沈淪生死。今明五體表五陰：左脚是色，右脚是受，左手是行，右手是想，頭是識。何故爾？戒是色法，無作冥密，如陰，表左脚也。定是受者，定是心神之法，為陽，表右脚也。想是推晝前境，如陽，表右手也。行是思數，如陰，表左手也。五識在頭，能了別，故識對頭也。若依薩婆若地者，得五分法身。戒是防護七支，故是色陰。定是三昧正受，故是受陰。慧是悟虛智，即想陰。解脫是行，行能招累，解脫無累，故對行陰。解脫知見，是識陰，能了別故。以五分法身伐生死五陰，經云：『因滅是色，獲得常色；受、想、行、識，亦復如是。』是以名五體投地，令毒害消伏，則出生死，翛然累表也。」）

(As for the understanding in principle, the Commentary says: "The ground is the ground of the single true mark. If the mind that accords with sarvajña (all-knowledge) unites [with it], this is called 'throwing oneself to the ground'. If one gives rise to the five skandhas apart from sarvajña, this is remaining flat and leaning, wherein poison and harm are not eliminated, and one sinks in saṃsāra. Now, it is explained that the five limbs represent the five skandhas: the left foot is form, the right foot is sensation, the left hand is formations, the right hand is perception, and the head is consciousness. Why is this so? Precepts are the dharma of form, non-active and hidden, like yin, representing the left foot. Concentration is sensation: concentration is a mental and spiritual dharma, which is yang, representing the right foot. Perception is discerning the objects before one, like yang, representing the right hand. Formations are the mental factor of volition, like yin, representing the left hand. The five consciousnesses are in the head and can discern, so consciousness corresponds to the head. If one relies on the ground of sarvajña, one attains the fivefold dharmakāya: Precepts protect the seven actions, hence they are the form skandha. Concentration is the correct sensation of samādhi, hence it is the sensation skandha. Wisdom is the intellect realizing emptiness, which is the perception skandha. Liberation is formations; formations can incur burdens, whereas liberation is free of burdens, hence it corresponds to the formations skandha. Liberation-knowledge-and-vision is the consciousness skandha, because it is capable of discerning. Subduing the five skandhas of saṃsāra by means of the fivefold dharmakāya, the sūtra says: 'By extinguishing this form, one attains eternal form; sensation, perception, formations, and consciousness are also like this.' Therefore, it is called throwing the five limbs to the ground, causing poison and harm to be eliminated and subdued; one then departs saṃsāra, completely detached beyond burdens.")
