御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演 2.12

2.12

演曰。准長行釋上二句問。下二句答。一問為何等故心得不捨菩提相。二問為何起行相而修行。下二句答。為忍等者。謂以無我等相而發心修行也。然准彼論初地以去證第一義。所得忍度名不住心。舉此為證勸。彼地前菩薩發心亦離一切相故云未生。第一菩提心者有如是過為防此過等。

The Commentary says: According to the prose commentary, the first two lines are questions and the lower two lines are answers. First, it asks: for what purpose does the mind not abandon the mark of bodhi? Second, it asks: for what purpose does one give rise to the marks of practice and cultivate? The lower two lines answer: 'For patience, etc.' means that with the absence of marks such as a self, one generates the mind and cultivates practice. However, according to that treatise, from the first ground onward, one realizes the ultimate truth; the perfection of patience obtained is called the non-abiding mind. Citing this as proof, it exhorts: bodhisattvas before the grounds, when generating the mind, should also be free from all marks; hence it says that those who have not generated the foremost bodhi-mind have such faults, and to guard against these faults, etc.
