English version If a previously experienced state cannot be clearly remembered, and a thought does not arise, then ‘念’ (Nian, mindfulness) is certainly not included within the ‘遍行’ (Sarvatraga, ever-present) mental factors. What is ‘定’ (Samadhi, concentration)? To make the mind focused and undistracted on the object being observed is its nature, and wisdom relies on it as its function. That is to say, when observing merits, faults, and states that are neither merits nor faults, through ‘定’ (Samadhi, concentration) the mind is made focused and undistracted. Relying on this, decisive wisdom arises. The phrase ‘mind focused’ shows that one can abide wherever one wishes to abide, not just in a single state. If it were not so, when sequentially observing the Truths (Satya, noble truths) in the Path of Seeing, the states before and after would be different, and there should be no 平等保持 (Samahita, equanimity). If the mind is not bound and focused on the position of the state, then ‘定’ (Samadhi, concentration) will not arise, so ‘定’ (Samadhi, concentration) is not an ‘遍行’ (Sarvatraga, ever-present) mental factor. What is ‘慧’ (Prajna, wisdom)? To discriminate and select regarding the object being observed is its nature, and to cut off doubts is its function. That is to say, when observing merits, faults, and states that are neither merits nor faults, it is because of the investigation of ‘慧’ (Prajna, wisdom) that a decision is obtained. In an ignorant mind without observation, there is no discrimination and selection, so ‘慧’ (Prajna, wisdom) is not included within the ‘遍行’ (Sarvatraga, ever-present) mental factors. These five ‘别境’ (Visesa, specific object) mental factors, the seventh and eighth consciousnesses have them or do not have them depending on their position, as has been said before. The sixth consciousness may have them in all positions, because relying on transformation or non-transformation does not prevent its existence. The five consciousnesses of eye, etc., may also have these five ‘别境’ (Visesa, specific object) mental factors, although they do not have the characteristics of increased hope, etc., they have the meaning of subtle pleasurable states, etc. Because 等引 (Samapatti, meditative absorption) is prevented, it is said that the nature is scattered, but it does not prevent 等持 (Samahita, equanimity), so it is permissible to have ‘定’ (Samadhi, concentration). Because there is wisdom, it is said that the supernatural powers of the eye and ear are the nature of wisdom corresponding to the eye and ear consciousnesses. The remaining three (nose, tongue, body) follow this principle, and there is no fault in having ‘慧’ (Prajna, wisdom). In the position of not having attained freedom, these five ‘别境’ (Visesa, specific object) mental factors may not exist, but when freedom is attained, these five ‘别境’ (Visesa, specific object) mental factors certainly exist, just like the positions of the seventh and eighth consciousnesses that have already been transformed. Everything corresponds to the five feelings. The treatise says that 忧根 (Duhkha-indriya, root of sorrow) yearns for the unsurpassed Dharma with sorrow and anxiety, seeking to attain it, so it is purely experiencing suffering, hoping to seek liberation. The mind has the root of suffering, as has been said before. The treatise says that craving corresponds to sorrow and suffering, and because this craving always has ‘欲’ (Chanda, desire) together with it. Therefore, ‘欲’ (Chanda, desire), etc., correspond to the five feelings. These five feelings are further distinguished according to their nature, realm, ground, and other aspects, and should be thought about reasonably. Having spoken about the two positions of ‘遍行’ (Sarvatraga, ever-present) and ‘别境’ (Visesa, specific object), what is the appearance of the mental factors in the wholesome position? The verse says: ‘Wholesome’ refers to ‘信’ (Sraddha, faith), ‘惭’ (Hri, shame), ‘愧’ (Apatrapya, embarrassment), the three roots of ‘无贪’ (Allobha, non-greed), ‘无嗔’ (Advesha, non-hatred), ‘无痴’ (Amoha, non-delusion), ‘勤’ (Virya, diligence), ‘安’ (Prasrabdhi, ease), ‘不放逸’ (Apramada, non-carelessness), ‘行舍’ (Upeksha, equanimity), and ‘不害’ (Avihimsa, non-harming). Explanation: This reveals the third wholesome mental factors. However, this verse has three parts. The beginning says ‘wholesome’, which is to indicate the name and meaning of the position. Then it says ‘信’ (Sraddha, faith), etc., which is to explain the nature of the position. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Speaking of ‘言显别心所’ (verbal expression and manifestation of different mental factors), only those that are associated with wholesome minds are called ‘wholesome mental factors’. There are eleven in total, such as ‘faith’ (śraddhā), ‘shame’ (hrī), etc. What is ‘faith’? It has as its nature deep acceptance and delight in true virtues and abilities, and a pure mind. Its function is to counteract disbelief and to delight in doing good. ‘Acceptance’ refers to superior understanding, which is the cause of ‘faith’. ‘Delight’ refers to ‘desire’, which is the result of ‘faith’. This nature is clear and can purify the mind and so on. Because the mind is superior, it is named ‘mind purity’. Just as a clear crystal bead can purify muddy water, ‘faith’ counteracts disbelief, loves and strives to attain worldly and transcendental goodness. The differences among the three types of ‘faith’ are explained in detail in the Commentary on the Hundred Dharmas. What is ‘shame’? It has as its nature the honoring and respecting of the virtuous and good, relying on one's own power and the Dharma. Its function is to counteract shamelessness and to cease evil actions. That is, relying on the nobility and superiority of oneself and the Dharma, one honors and respects the virtuous and good, and is ashamed of faults and evils. It counteracts shamelessness and ceases all evil actions. What is ‘disgrace’? It has as its nature the slighting and rejecting of violence and evil, relying on the power of the world. Its function is to counteract shamelessness and to cease evil actions. That is, relying on the world's condemnation and disgust, one slights and rejects violence and evil, and is ashamed of faults and sins. It counteracts shamelessness and ceases evil actions. When a wholesome mind arises, regardless of the object it is related to, it has the meaning of honoring and respecting the good and slighting and rejecting the evil. Therefore, both ‘shame’ and ‘disgrace’ are universally present in wholesome minds. ‘Non-greed’ (alobha), ‘non-hatred’ (adveṣa), etc., where ‘etc.’ refers to ‘non-delusion’ (amoha). These three are called ‘roots’ because they produce the power of goodness in a superior way. They are also the direct antidotes to these three unwholesome roots. What is ‘non-greed’? It has as its nature non-attachment to existence and the instruments of existence. Its function is to counteract greed and attachment, and to perform good deeds. What is ‘non-hatred’? It has as its nature non-resentment towards suffering and the instruments of suffering. Its function is to counteract hatred and resentment, and to perform good deeds. When a wholesome mind arises, regardless of the object it is related to, it has no attachment or hatred towards existence and so on. It is established by observing existence and so on, but it is not necessarily related to them. Just like the previous ‘shame’ and ‘disgrace’, it is established by observing good and evil. Therefore, both of these are universally present in wholesome minds. What is ‘non-delusion’? It has as its nature clear understanding of the affairs and principles of all dharmas. Its function is to counteract delusion and to perform good deeds. Because these three are the roots of goodness, it is said that ‘performing good deeds is their function’. ‘Diligence’ (vīrya) refers to ‘effort’. It has as its nature courageous advancement in the matters of cultivating the good and abandoning the bad. Its function is to counteract laziness and to perfect good dharmas. ‘Courageous’ indicates superior progress, distinguishing it from various defiled dharmas. ‘Advancement’ indicates purity, distinguishing it from pure and neutral dharmas. This shows that diligence is only included in the nature of the good. The differences among the five aspects are explained in detail in the Commentary on the Hundred Dharmas. ‘Ease’ (praśrabdhi) refers to ‘lightness and ease’. It is the state of being free from heaviness, harmonizing the body and mind, and being capable of... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
