English version: The 本識 (běnshì) [fundamental consciousness, i.e., Ālaya-vijñāna (阿賴耶識)] relies on the 心根 (xīngēn) [mind-root, i.e., Manas (意根)] and therefore can directly perceive 真如 (zhēnrú) [Tathatā, the true nature of things]. The 後得智 (hòudézhì) [wisdom attained after enlightenment] relies on the 色根 (sègēn) [five sense organs: eye, ear, nose, tongue, and body] and has discriminations, so it cannot directly perceive 真如. The so-called '後得 (hòudé)' refers to what arises after the fundamental wisdom. The first five consciousnesses (eye-consciousness, ear-consciousness, nose-consciousness, tongue-consciousness, and body-consciousness) arise after the fundamental wisdom. Since there is no fundamental wisdom, where does the wisdom attained after enlightenment come from? Because they are of the same category, they jointly attain the truth of things. This sentence is used to refute the views of other schools. Because in the view of the 安慧宗 (Ānhuì zōng) [Anhui School], the cause of the first five consciousnesses has already achieved the unconditioned (without afflictions) transformations, which can perceive 真如. They believe that the 見分 (jiànfēn) [subjective aspect of consciousness] and 相分 (xiàngfēn) [objective aspect of consciousness] are 遍計所執性 (biànjì suǒzhí xìng) [parikalpita-svabhāva, the nature of imaginary construction], and the 自證分 (zìzhèngfēn) [self-awareness aspect of consciousness] is 依他起性 (yītuōqǐ xìng) [paratantra-svabhāva, the nature of dependence on others]. When one reaches the state of Buddhahood, the 自證分 can directly perceive 真如 because there is no 相見 (xiàngjiàn) [objective appearance], so there is no 遍計所執性. Therefore, the master 護法 (Hùfǎ) [Dharmapāla] uses this sentence to refute the views of the 安慧宗. '圓明初發成無漏,三類分身息苦輪 (Yuánmíng chū fā chéng wúlòu, sān lèi fēnshēn xī kǔ lún)' [When perfect clarity first arises, it becomes unconditioned, and the three kinds of manifested bodies cease the wheel of suffering]. This sentence means that when the cause of the first five consciousnesses is exhausted and the result is obtained, then the corresponding mental functions become 成所作智 (chéngsuǒzuòzhì) [kṛtyānuṣṭhāna-jñāna, the wisdom of accomplishing activities]. Manifesting three kinds of manifested bodies, ceasing the wheel of suffering for sentient beings. That is to say, in the state of Buddhahood, after the eighth consciousness (Ālaya-vijñāna) is transformed into the unconditioned pure consciousness, the various mental functions corresponding to it become 大圓鏡智 (dàyuánjìngzhì) [Ādarśa-jñāna, the great mirror-like wisdom], which suddenly appears, so it is said to be '初發 (chū fā)' [first arises]. Then the first five consciousnesses also become unconditioned, so it is said to be '成無漏 (chéng wúlòu)' [becomes unconditioned]. '三類分身 (sān lèi fēnshēn)' [three kinds of manifested bodies] refers to using the mental functions of the five consciousnesses to achieve 成所作智, manifesting three kinds of manifested bodies. The so-called '三類身 (sān lèi shēn)' [three kinds of bodies] are the 化身 (huàshēn) [nirmāṇakāya, transformation body] among the 法身 (fǎshēn) [dharmakāya, dharma body], 報身 (bàoshēn) [saṃbhogakāya, enjoyment body], and 化身. The objects of this 化身's teaching vary in quality, so the 化身 that can teach also has three types. The thousand-foot-tall 大化身 (dà huàshēn) [great transformation body] teaches the Bodhisattvas of the four stages of practice in the Mahāyāna, the small ten-six-foot-tall 化身 teaches the Bodhisattvas of the three stages of accumulation in the Mahāyāna, as well as the Śrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas, transforming them according to their types. The three vehicles (Śrāvakayāna, Pratyekabuddhayāna, and Bodhisattvayāna) are universally taught, and all beings in the six realms benefit. Or someone may ask, since the first five consciousnesses achieve the unconditioned corresponding mental functions, manifesting transformation bodies to benefit sentient beings, why is it said first that the eighth consciousness achieves the unconditioned? Because '圓明初發 (yuánmíng chū fā)' refers to the mental functions corresponding to the eighth consciousness, which is the great mirror-like wisdom. The first five sense organs are the objective aspects transformed by the eighth consciousness. Since the fundamental consciousness that can transform has achieved the unconditioned, the five sense organs that are transformed also achieve the unconditioned. Since the eighth consciousness that can generate the five sense organs has achieved the unconditioned, then the five consciousnesses that are generated also achieve the unconditioned. Or someone may ask, since it is said that the eight consciousnesses are transformed to achieve the four wisdoms, why is it said that the corresponding mental functions? The tenth volume of the *Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra* says that these four categories encompass all conditioned merits of the Buddha-land. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version Virtues are all exhausted. This is the corresponding section on the transformation of the contaminated eight, seven, six, and five consciousnesses. Wisdom is attained in sequence. Although wisdom is not consciousness, it operates based on consciousness. Because consciousness is the primary factor, it is said that the transformation of consciousness leads to the attainment of wisdom. Moreover, in the contaminated state, wisdom is weak and consciousness is strong; in the uncontaminated state, wisdom is strong and consciousness is weak. To encourage sentient beings to rely on wisdom and abandon consciousness, it is said that the eight consciousnesses are transformed to attain these four wisdoms. Whenever 'transformation of consciousness' is mentioned below, refer to this explanation. 'The three natures and three measures pervade the three realms.' This statement explains that the sixth consciousness pervades all three natures, three measures, and three realms. The word 'pervade' connects the content above and below. The three natures are: good, which means conforming to benefit, conforming to right principles, and benefiting oneself and others; unwholesome, which means violating and harming, violating right principles and harming oneself and others; neutral, which means 'no,' that is, no distinguishing. It cannot be distinguished in terms of good or evil. Therefore, here the three natures are explained in terms of conforming, violating, harming, and benefiting. Another explanation is: conforming to and benefiting both lives (present and future) is called good nature; violating and harming both lives is called unwholesome nature; and not being able to distinguish between lovable and unlovable results is called neutral nature. That is, the self and the result are both lovable, which is called good nature; unwholesome is the opposite. Not being able to distinguish between lovable and unlovable is called neutral. Here, the three natures are explained from the perspective of the three times (past, present, future), contaminated and uncontaminated. The three measures are: direct perception, which explains 'direct,' as explained above. Now, only inferential perception and non-perception are explained. Inferential perception refers to inferring a realm without error; non-perception refers to emotion with reason absent, probably inferring without attachment. Because the sixth consciousness has five types: first, solitary consciousness in concentration, which cognizes the realm of concentration. The realm of concentration has phenomena and principles, and phenomena have extremely subtle and extremely remote aspects. Colors and the dharmas produced by the power of concentration are included in the realm of phenomena. Second, solitary consciousness in a scattered state, which cognizes colors induced by sensation and the colors of the realm of phenomena arising from conceptual proliferation. For example, cognizing flowers in the sky, reflections in a mirror, and painted images; what arises is included in the realm of phenomena. Third, solitary consciousness in dreams, which cognizes the realm of dreams. Fourth, clear consciousness, which cognizes the five sense objects together with the first five consciousnesses. Fifth, confused consciousness, which is scattered consciousness, arising wildly from the five roots, such as seeing blue as yellow when suffering from a fever. This is not the function of the eye consciousness, but of this consciousness. Consciousness in concentration is only direct perception; solitary scattered consciousness has both inferential and non-perception. The two consciousnesses in dreams and confusion are both non-perception. Clear consciousness pervades the three measures. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
