御注金剛般若波羅蜜經宣演 2.16

2.16

Sūtra: Therefore the Buddha says [...] should not dwell in form to practice giving. / Commentary: Fourth, concluding exhortation. Citing what was previously spoken—that the minds of bodhisattvas do not dwell [in form] when giving. Here and in the Wei translation, form is briefly cited; the Zhenguan [version] states that one does not dwell in any of the six sensory objects. This cites the expedient means of generating practice with a non-dwelling mind found early in the sūtra to exhort long-time practitioners. Or, it cites the expedient means of true practice of the ten grounds—not dwelling in giving—to exhort those before the grounds to cultivate without dwelling, just like exhorting them to be free from marks when generating the bodhi-mind. Question: Why is giving cited to prove patience and exhort the generation of the mind? Answer: That treatise explains: 'Because the perfection of giving subsumes the six perfections.'
