大乘起信論略述 1.156

1.156

論。二者不斷至究竟離故　述曰。此言不斷相應染者。即五意中名相續識。法執相續名為不斷。塵污淨心故名為染。初住已上三賢菩薩修學唯識。尋思實智諸方便觀漸伏如是法執分別。若得初地無漏淨心。證三無性遍滿真如。法執分別種現俱亡故。淨心地究竟離故。

The treatise says: "Second is the uninterrupted […] because of definitively abandoning it." Dankuang explains: The phrase "uninterrupted concorded defilement" refers to the continuous consciousness among the five kinds of consciousness (manas). The continuity of attachment to phenomena is called "uninterrupted." Dirt and pollution dirtying the pure mind are called "defilement." Bodhisattvas of the three stages of worthiness from the first dwelling stage onward study and cultivate consciousness-only, gradually subduing such discrimination of attachment to phenomena through various expedient contemplations of inquiry and true cognition. When they attain the undefiled pure mind of the first bhūmi and realize the tathatā that is pervasive of the three non-natures, the seeds and actual manifestations of the discrimination of attachment to phenomena are both eradicated; therefore, on the stage of the pure mind, they definitively abandon it.
