| English | “How, Mañjuśri, are the defilements brought under control? How are the defilements understood?" Mañjuśri said, "From the ultimate perspective, with regard to all of these dharmas which are really unborn, unoriginated and without substance, there is a false inversion (asadviparyāsaḥ) owing to convention. On the basis of that mistake, there is imagination and conceptualization (saṃkalpavikalpa). From that imagination and conceptualization comes improperly grounded attention (ayoniśomanasikāra). Out of improperly grounded attention there is a superimposition of self (ātmasamāropaḥ). From the superimposition of self, there is the emergence of views (dṛṣṭiparyutthāna). On the basis of the emergence of views, the defilements advance. But one, O Devaputra, who knows all dharmas to be really unborn, unoriginated and without existence—such a one is ultimately free from error. And one who is ultimately free from error is without conceptualization (avikalpa). And one who is without conceptualizations has the proper grounding (yoniṣaḥ prayukta). And for one who has the proper grounding, the superimposition of a self does not occur. And for one to whom the superimposition of a self does not occur, there is no emergence of views. Ultimately there is no emergence of any view, up to and including a view of nirvāṇa. Thus the defilements of one who dwells in non-origination should be seen as completely brought under control. This is called the control of the defilements. Devaputra, when one ultimately knows, by means of the knowledge that is without appearance, that the defilements are really empty, really without being, really without a phenomenal sign then, Devaputra, the defilements are understood. In this context, as an example, Devaputra, one who understands a type of snake neutralizes the poison of that snake. Just so, Devaputra, for one who understands the origin of defilements, the defilements are completely neutralized.” Devaputra said, “What, O Mañjuśri, is the origin of the defilements?” The reply came, “Ultimately it is this imagination with respect to all dharmas, which are really unborn, unoriginated, and without being, that is the origin of defilements.” |
