金剛般若經旨贊 2.256

2.256

言有為者。謂餘起法由帶四相之所表示。顯是遷流造作法故。然有總別開合之相。總合相者或總為三。謂初三喻顯自性相。即見相識有為自一切有為不離此故。其次三喻顯受用相。即器身受能所用器為所受身受。是能必以此三成受用故。其後三喻顯三世相。即過現未三世之事。必以此三來世法故。或總為四。一自性相。即前初三義如前釋。二著所住味相。即前所受器世界相。於中境界是所住味顛倒境故。三隨順過去相。謂前能用身受二法身。是無常過去隨逐受為苦過。所隨順故。前同受用故合為一。今能所別故開為二。四隨順離相。謂前三世由觀三世遷流不定成出離故。論依前義而說頌云。

As for 'conditioned': it refers to phenomena arising from conditions, indicated by possessing the four characteristics, revealing that they are changing and created phenomena. However, they have general and specific, combined and differentiated characteristics. As for the generally combined characteristics, they are grouped into three: the first three similes reveal the characteristic of intrinsic nature—that is, seeing, mark, and consciousness are the intrinsic nature of the conditioned, because all conditioned things do not depart from these. The next three similes reveal the characteristic of enjoyment—that is, the receptacle, the body, and feeling are what is enjoyed and what enjoys; the receptacle is what is enjoyed, while the body and feeling are what enjoys, because enjoyment is necessarily established through these three. The last three similes reveal the characteristics of the three time periods—that is, events of the past, present, and future, because phenomena of the future necessarily come through these three. Or they are grouped into four: 1. The characteristic of intrinsic nature, which refers to the first three above, whose meaning is as explained before. 2. The characteristic of attachment to the taste of where one abides, which refers to the characteristic of the receptacle world enjoyed above, because the objects therein are the inverted objects of the taste where one abides. 3. The characteristic of conforming to the past, meaning the two phenomena of the body and feeling that function above; the body is impermanent and pursued by the past, and feeling conforms to the faults of suffering. Previously, being both enjoyment, they were combined into one; now, because subject and object are differentiated, they are opened into two. 4. The characteristic of conforming to departure, meaning the three times above, because by contemplating the changing and unstable nature of the three times, departure is accomplished. The Treatise, relying on the former meaning, speaks in verse:
