大乘起信論略述 2.10

2.10

[Treatise:] The perfuming of avidyā [...] meaning of the consciousness of phenomena. [Commentary:] This expands upon the previous meaning of avidyā perfuming suchness. Because this avidyā is accomplished in two different kinds, the meaning of avidyā's perfuming has two kinds. Fundamental avidyā can cover and perfume unarisen suchness, causing it to become the active thought of karma, evolving, and manifestation-consciousness—the deluded mind of the fundamental consciousness; hence it is said, "fundamental perfuming can accomplish the meaning of the karma-consciousness," and so forth. Secondary avidyā further covers and perfumes the already-arisen suchness to form its consciousness of phenomena; hence it is said, "the perfuming of the arisen views and love can accomplish the meaning of the discriminating consciousness of phenomena."
