大乘起信論略述 2.51

2.51

[Treatise:] Answer: […] therefore they are not two.
[Exposition:] Below, the answer has two parts: first, clarifying that though differentiated they are not two; next, displaying that though not two they are differentiated. This is the first. In the text there are three clauses: First, displaying that all virtues, although extensive and numerous, are of the same one flavor. Next, explaining the reason: because there is no non-conceptual grasper mind, and also free from the characteristics of the grasped objects of conceptualization. Because there is no dual grasping, they are of the same one flavor. The lower phrase is the general conclusion: because of the identical one flavor of the nature of tathatā, therefore what was said previously is not two.
