不一不異章第六
Chapter 6: Neither One Nor Different
論曰:復次阿梨耶識中彼染法種子,為分分別住、為無差別?無別物體於識中住,亦非不異,然阿梨耶識如此而生,有勝功能能生彼法,說名一切種子識。
Further discussion: In the storehouse-consciousness, do those defiled seeds exist as distinct, separate things, or are they undifferentiated? They are not separate entities residing within consciousness, yet they are not identical to it either. Rather, the storehouse-consciousness arises in such a way that it possesses a special potential to produce those phenomena, and therefore it is called the "consciousness of all seeds."
釋曰:阿梨耶識中,彼染法種子為分分別住、為無差別耶?若爾,何失?此諸種子若有分分差別,阿梨耶識亦應有分分差別。又阿梨耶識剎那滅義不成,由分分差別故。又善惡法所熏習,即成善惡種子體,然此是無記故。若無分分,云何言多?此義不成。是故二俱有過。無別物體於識中住亦非不異乃至名一切種子識者,於中言非別非不別者,為離如前所說過失故。如此而生者,謂如其種類而生。生彼有勝能者,生諸染法時與勝能相應故。亦以生彼有勝能故,說名一切種子識。此中有譬,如麥種子於生芽有能,得為種子。若陳久、若火損,能生麥果功能便壞。麥相如本,功力壞故非復種子。阿梨耶識亦爾,有生一切法功能,由與功能相應故,說名一切種子識。
