大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五 5.93

5.93

論。三者至之所惑亂　釋曰。外道者樂諸見。由修三昧諸見不動。故不為彼所惑亂也。總諸外道無過六師。各有十六所學之法。一是自學。餘教弟子。總彼六師師資所學故。說外道有九十六。此如毘尼婆沙所說。而相傳一似佛法。今論中舉全非者。故云九十五種外道。

[Treatise:] Third, [they are not confused or disordered] by [the ninety-five kinds of non-Buddhists and spirits].
[Commentary:] Non-Buddhists delight in various views. Through cultivating samādhi, one does not waver in the face of various views; hence one is not confused or disordered by them. In general, all non-Buddhists do not exceed the six masters. Each has sixteen dharmas that they study: one is self-study, and the remainder are taught to disciples. Totalling the studies of masters and disciples of those six masters, it is said that there are ninety-six non-Buddhists; this is as stated in the Vinayavibhāṣā. Yet tradition holds that one [kind] resembles the Buddhadharma; the present treatise mentions only those that are completely mistaken, hence it speaks of ninety-five kinds of non-Buddhists.
