English version Long. Second, it is increased but not created. It is like a person with shame who follows others in cultivation. This goodness is increased and expanded. Because one cannot arise on one's own, one does not act. Third, it is both created and increased, like a person who performs good deeds and constantly practices them. This good karma becomes vast and great. Fourth, it is neither created nor increased, which refers to the unconditioned good karma. If it increases the cycle of birth and death, it is called 'creator'. The unconditioned can eliminate the creator of birth and death, therefore it does not increase. The first three are karma, and the last one is not entirely so. Among the first three, take the third sentence, 'both created and increased,' hence it is said to 'possess all dharmas.' Those who can generate the six realms are those who can obtain the karmic results of birth and death in the six realms, generating the cause in Alaya-vijñana (store consciousness). Because this cause of the complete body of birth and death is perfumed with skillful means, birth and death can be accomplished. Therefore, it is said that 'this cause means the completion of birth and death.' Second, observe and practice the true nature. Observing the three kinds of non-nature is called 'observing and practicing the true nature.' Observation has four functions: first, to eliminate observation; second, to extinguish observation; third, to realize observation; fourth, to cultivate observation. Observe the suchness of the nature of the suffering truth (Dukkha-satya), and the same applies to the other three truths. Observing the four truths with suchness possesses four functions. Observing suchness extinguishes suffering and accumulation (Samudaya-satya). Observing suchness is realizing extinction (Nirodha-satya). Understanding suchness is cultivating the path (Marga-satya), which can eliminate attachment to discriminating nature. Discrimination creates existence from non-existence. True observation reveals that existence and non-existence are contrary to self-nature, hence it is called 'elimination.' Discriminating nature is the first perfuming to be damaged; it is damaged in the present and will be destroyed in the future. If the accumulation truth is damaged, suffering will also be damaged. If Alaya-vijñana is damaged, originally there are seven layers of the suffering truth, and the three realms are three of them. After the three layers are damaged, Alaya-vijñana is the root of receiving karmic results. Although it is not led by delusion and karma, it will no longer enter the three realms of existence, but will receive birth within the four kinds of birth and death in the realm without outflows. Thus, there will be no position of birth and death. If Alaya is damaged, receiving birth is also damaged. Why? Manifest consciousness is discriminating consciousness. Because manifest consciousness is damaged, it is known that discriminating consciousness is also damaged. This discriminating consciousness of self and others, as well as the six sense objects, has already been extinguished, so why only say 'damaged'? Now, saying 'damaged' is based on the pure aspect. This is completely extinguished together with the fundamental consciousness. This Alaya that can descend can be eliminated. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
