金剛般若經依天親菩薩論贊略釋秦本義記卷上 1.31

1.31

經。須菩提菩薩應如是布施不住於相　第三答降伏心問也。准魏經云。不住於相想。此中略想字文中有六。一標二徵三釋四喻五合六勸。此文初也。若起相想二取未亡。欲求真空還成有漏。是故菩薩除滅妄想清淨三輪故。於施門更彰降伏。言不於相想者。謂不見施物受者及施者故。

[Sūtra:] "Subhūti, a bodhisattva should practice giving in this way, not abiding in characteristics:" The third part answers the question on subduing the mind. According to the Wei translation, it says "not abiding in the perception of characteristics". Here the word "perception" is omitted. In the text there are six parts: first, presentation; second, query; third, explanation; fourth, simile; fifth, application; sixth, exhortation. This text is the first part. If one gives rise to the perception of characteristics, the two kinds of grasping are not yet extinguished; seeking true emptiness will still result in the contaminated. Therefore, the bodhisattva eradicates false perceptions to purify the three wheels; hence, within the gate of giving, subduing [the mind] is further shown. "Not abiding in the perception of characteristics" means not perceiving the gift, the recipient, or the giver.
