大乘起信論略述 2.147

2.147

[Treatise:] Generating the aspiration through understanding and practice should be known as increasingly superior.
[Exposition:] Next, the second [section]: generating the aspiration through understanding and practice. Within this, there are two parts: first, revealing the aspiration attained through understanding and karma; later, revealing the understanding and practice performed by that aspiration. The former has two parts: first, generally indicating that it is superior; later, revealing its superior characteristics. This is the first. 'Understanding' refers to the ten understandings (dwellings); 'practice' refers to the ten practices. The mind of dedication refers to entering the ten dedications. Prior to the dwellings, one raises practice based solely on faith; now, one raises practice based on understanding. That is, transforming the nature of faith into the nature of superior understanding, it is called 'increasingly superior.'
