大乘百法明門論開宗義記 1.31

1.31

The treatise states: "Fourth, the dharmas of mental non-interactive formations, which are of twenty-four kinds." Tankuang explains: Next is the explanation of the fourth [category], non-interactive formations. Within this there are two parts: first, a general indication stating the number; second, distinguishing and enumerating them according to the number. This is the first. The Hīnayāna traditions speak of fourteen, and some also add latency (anuśaya). The present Mahāyāna tradition speaks of twenty-four. As the Vijñaptimātratā treatise refutes the Hīnayāna as the occasion arises, it only explains the characteristics of the fourteen non-interactive [dharmas]. However, works such as the Yogācāra[-bhūmi] reveal the Mahāyāna doctrine and distinguish the meaning of the twenty-four non-interactive [dharmas]. Therefore, the Yogācāra[-bhūmi] and other texts differentiate them fully and extensively. Now I rely on the explanations in various treatises such as the Yogācāra[-bhūmi], the Prakaraṇāryavācā, the Pañcaskandhaka, and the Vijñaptimātratā.
