English

English version: The 'I' person, in reality, has no aggregation or dispersion. Observing the principle of 'Shengkong' (生空, emptiness of beings, meaning all sentient beings lack inherent existence), one knows that the various things that appear internally and externally also have no aggregation or dispersion. Observing the principle of 'Fakong' (法空, emptiness of phenomena, meaning all phenomena lack inherent existence) is also the same. The so-called 'sentient beings' refers to various current activities. There is no fixed self-nature, so it is said that there is no aggregation. Due to the combination of conditions, it seems to exist, so it is said that there is no dispersion. Why is this so? Because it is produced by the aggregation of many conditions, and it is impossible to find its true self-nature. Sutra: If a Buddha-son reaches the Baifa Mingmen (百法明门, Hundred Dharmas Bright Gate, a compendium explaining all dharmas in the Yogacara school). Commentary: In the tenth wisdom-mind, 'making wisdom-seeing mind' is to raise the general outline of the chapter. 'Entanglement' is called 'Jie' (结, knot, another name for affliction), 'latent tendencies' are called 'Huan' (患, disease, another name for affliction), because it is the root of all suffering. 'Acceptance in accordance' refers to the state of mind conforming to wisdom. 'Wisdom-nature arises light', 'light' refers to running and illuminating. 'One flame clearly bright' refers to one body with multiple uses. 'Seeing emptiness without acceptance' refers to being connected to emptiness without attachment. The summary says 'its wisdom expedient', which means that the practice of wisdom is skillful, and can generate the ten nurturing minds of this position. This mind enters the principle of emptiness, gives rise to the path of emptiness, and the mixed cultivation of wisdom and compassion is capable of initiating the cause of the unproduced holy mind. Sutra: Lushena (卢舍那, Vairocana Buddha, the Sambhogakaya Buddha) even to the name of no mutual belief. Commentary: The thirtieth Vajra mind. Initially, the mind is aroused and entered, then nurtured, and now it is indestructible, likened to Vajra. In this initial mind, 'belief' is to raise the general outline of the chapter. Various views are called 'attachers', explaining the meaning of views, because there is attachment. 'Binding existence creates karma' is the creation and accumulation of suffering results. One must not accept this in order to enter the realm of emptiness and non-action. 'Three characteristics are absent' is a general indication that the three characteristics are extinguished. 'No non-arising' below separately breaks the three characteristics. The so-called arising, abiding, and ceasing have the relative aspects of subject and object. Now, both are emptied, so it is repeated 'no no', eliminating the arising of subject and object, so it is said 'no non-arising'. This passage can be said that because there is no 'non-arising', there is no 'abiding' of 'arising'. Without the 'abiding' of 'arising', there is no 'abiding place abiding'. 'Abiding place abiding' is absent, so 'ceasing ceasing' is also absent. 'There is emptiness of all dharmas' is to preserve the Suchness of 'no-self of dharmas'. Preventing the fault of reduction. 'Exhaustion extinction different emptiness' is the extinction of the wisdom of the two truths, so it is said 'exhaustion extinction'. There are still separate views, which are also called 'different emptiness'. 'Form emptiness' is the emptiness of the form skandha. 'Subtle mind mind emptiness' is the emptiness of the four skandhas. The emptiness of the minds of the three times, the belief in the two truths is extinguished, without substance and nature, and still belongs to the many conditions, without a fixed self-nature. Therefore, the belonging conditions are also empty, so it is said 'also without reliance'. Next is the general statement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Concluding remarks: ‘Ran Zhu Zhe’ (然主者) refers to the user of names such as ‘I’ and ‘person.’ This is to explain the true self-entity, name, and function. The ‘false self of the Three Realms’ (三界假我) refers to the two falsities of person and dharma. ‘No attainable assembled form’ (无得集相) means that neither the real self nor the false self can find an assemblable form. Since both person and dharma are empty, there is no basis for believing in names. Sutra: ‘If a Buddha-son arrives, it is also like this’ (若佛子至亦如是). Commentary: The second ‘those who contemplate in the mind of thought’ (念心中作念者) is a summary of the chapter's outline. ‘Those who are constantly aware in the six recollections’ (六念中常觉者) refers to the recollection of the Buddha. It even includes the three: dharma, sangha, and precepts. ‘Speaking of constant giving’ (言常施者) refers to the recollection of giving. Observing their true nature is all called ‘constant.’ ‘The ultimate truth’ (第一义谛) refers to the recollection of the heavens, because the Buddha constantly abides in the ultimate truth of the Nirvana fruit. ‘Speaking of emptiness, non-attachment, non-liberation, etc.’ (言空无著无解等者) refers to observing that the object of recollection is empty, with nothing to bind or cling to, let alone liberation. Since it is emptiness, the three characteristics (birth, abiding, and cessation) cannot touch, reach, or come and go, because the traces have been cut off. However, in the author, the one combined true form returns to its origin and enters the wisdom of the dharma realm. ‘Continuously increasing brightness means wisdom multiplying wisdom’ (运运增明言慧慧相乘) refers to wisdom constantly increasing, with wisdom interacting with wisdom. ‘Continuously meeting emptiness means vehicle after vehicle becoming extinction’ (运运会空言乘乘寂灭) refers to constantly meeting with emptiness, ultimately reaching extinction. ‘Moment after moment, forms disappear, speaking of blazing impermanence’ (念念泯相言炎炎无常) refers to each thought extinguishing appearances, indicating that all things are blazing and impermanent. Ancient legends say, ‘Wisdom abiding in form is called light’ (慧慧住相名光光), that is, wisdom staying in appearance is called light; ‘that extinguished appearance is called non-non’ (即彼灭相名无无), that is, that extinguished appearance is called non-non; ‘later and later arising appearance is called arising-arising’ (后后生相名生生), that is, the later arising appearance is called arising-arising. Although appearances change and flow, their nature does not arise or cease. Through the power of cultivation, one can transform the path of emptiness, abandon the previous inferiority, and turn to obtain the later superiority, constantly increasing. Originally it was inferior, so it is said ‘change-change’ (变变); originally there was no superiority, so it is said ‘transformation’ (转化); successively superior birth, so it is said ‘transformation-transformation’ (化化转转). Like this, when the later transforms the former, it is like the two ends of a scale maintaining balance at the same time. ‘Blazing one form’ (炎炎一相者) refers to the fact that although thoughts are different, they always maintain one form, which is no-form. ‘Birth and cessation at the same time’ (生灭一时者) refers to the fact that although birth and cessation are different, they merge into one thought. Next, it can be inferred that the three times of birth and cessation are also like this. ‘Already changed’ (已变者) is the past, ‘not yet changed’ (未变者) is the future, ‘changing’ (变者) is currently changing, which is the present. The three times exist simultaneously, so it is said to be change. It can also be understood as a kind of acceptance, because one thought merges everything. Acceptance refers to acceptance, because one thought merges everything. Sutra: ‘If a Buddha-son wholeheartedly attains liberation’ (若佛子至心解脱). Commentary: The third ‘deep mind within the deep mind’ (深心中深心者) is a summary of the chapter's outline, which is the mind of dedication, because the expectation is far-reaching. ‘The ultimate emptiness’ (第一义空者) is to mark the meaning of the sentence, that is, to illuminate the emptiness of what is universally calculated with wisdom. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
