English version: ‘Herein, seeing a single, constant entity, considering the aggregates as ‘I’ or ‘mine,’ etc.’ Why is it said again in this way? It is because ‘sat’ (existence) is to break the thought of permanence, and ‘kāya’ (body) is to break the thought of oneness. Because it is an impermanent accumulation, there is no ‘I’ or ‘mine’ within it. ‘Defiled wisdom’ refers to being associated with afflictions, with the basis of all views as its function. What is the view of holding to extremes? Due to the increasing power of satkāyadṛṣṭi (view of the real self), one either clings to what is grasped as permanent or as annihilated. Its nature is defiled wisdom. The extreme of permanence refers to clinging to the ‘self’ as being independent, universally constant, and so on. The extreme of annihilation refers to clinging to the idea that there are agents, individuals, etc., who, after death, are not reborn, like a broken pot that can no longer hold anything. Its function is to obstruct the Middle Way and liberation. What is wrong view? It refers to slandering cause and effect, or slandering function, or destroying good deeds. Its nature is defiled wisdom. Slandering the cause refers to the nature of karma and afflictions, which together have five branches. There are three types of afflictions: ignorance, attachment, and grasping. There are two types of karma: action and existence. ‘Existence’ refers to the seeds of karma that rely on ālayavijñāna (store consciousness), which is also called karma. As the World-Honored One said: ‘Ānanda, if karma can give rise to future results, it is also called existence.’ Such slander is called slandering the cause. Slandering the effect refers to the seven branches of the effect: consciousness, name and form, the six sense bases, contact, feeling, birth, old age, and death. Such slander is called slandering the effect. Or, slandering that there are no good or bad actions is called slandering the cause. Slandering that there are no results of good or bad actions is called slandering the effect. Slandering that there is no this world or other world, no father or mother, no spontaneously born beings, is called slandering function. It refers to the function of going from this world to another world, the function of seeds maintaining, the function of linking rebirths, and so on. Slandering that there are no arhats (worthy ones) in the world is to destroy good deeds, with the function of cutting off roots of goodness, with the basis of strengthening unwholesome roots, and also with the function of generating unwholesome and not generating wholesome. What is view-attachment? It refers to considering the three views and the aggregates on which they rely as the best, the highest, the most superior, and the most extreme, according to one's own reckoning. Its nature is defiled wisdom. The three views refer to satkāyadṛṣṭi (view of the real self), the view of holding to extremes, and wrong view. The aggregates on which they rely refer to the aggregates on which these views are based. Its function is as described in wrong view. What is adherence to precepts and vows? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: What is Śīlabbataparāmarsa (clinging to rules and rituals)? It refers to, regarding precepts and vows, and the aggregates (Skandha) on which they rely, mistakenly considering them to be pure, liberating, or a means of escape. Its nature is defiled wisdom. 'Precepts' refers to, with wrong views as a precursor, abstaining from seven kinds of evil deeds. 'Vows' refers to prohibitions such as the cow vow, dog vow, etc., as well as self-plucking of hair, holding a three-pronged staff, the meditative wisdom of the Sāṃkhya school, etc. These are not causes of liberation. Furthermore, considering worshiping Maheśvara (Great自在天) or Īśvara (World Ruler) and entering water or fire as means to be reborn in heaven are not causes for rebirth in heaven. Such things, they consider as means to an end. The aggregates on which they rely refer to the aggregates on which these precepts and vows depend. 'Purity' refers to saying that these (precepts and vows) are the direct means to achieve purity. 'Liberation' refers to saying that through these (precepts and vows) one can be liberated. 'Escape' refers to saying that through these (precepts and vows) one can escape from birth and death. This is its meaning. Its function is to cause fruitless effort and exhaustion, leading to no result. 'Fruitless effort' refers to these (precepts and vows) not leading to the meaning of escaping suffering. What is Vicikicchā (doubt)? It refers to, regarding the Four Noble Truths (Satya), the Three Jewels (Triratna), etc., being uncertain and hesitant. Its nature is not generating good dharmas.

It refers to hiding one's own faults. Its nature is concealing transgressions, therefore, when others correctly teach, one cannot confess openly. This is a part of ignorance. Its function is to lead to regret and unstable dwelling. What is Pradāsa (annoyance)? It refers to uttering violent and evil words, offending others. Its nature is anger and resentment as a precursor, the mind generating harm. Violent and evil words refer to sharp, hurtful, and coarse language. Its function is to lead to sorrow and unstable dwelling. It can also lead to the generation of non-merit and the creation of a bad reputation. What is Īrṣyā (jealousy)?
