(21)大慧白佛言:
「世尊!不建立八識耶?」
佛言:
「建(22)立。」
大慧白佛言:
「若建立者,云何離意識,非(23)七識?」
佛告大慧:
「彼因及彼攀緣故,七識不生。
(24)意識者,境界分段計著生習氣,長養藏識意(25)俱。
我我所計著思惟因緣生。
不壞身相藏識,(26)因攀緣自心現境界,計著心聚生,展轉相因。
(27)譬如海浪,自心現境界風吹,若生若滅,亦如(28)是。
是故意識滅,七識亦滅。」
Mahāmati said:
Does not the Blessed One establish eight Vijñānas?
The Blessed One replied:
I do, Mahāmati.
Mahāmati said:
If eight Vijñānas are established, why do you refer to the getting-rid of the Manovijñāna and not of the seven [other] Vijñānas [as well]?
The Blessed One said:
With the Manovijñāna as cause and supporter, Mahāmati, there rise the seven Vijñanas.
Again, Mahāmati, the Manovijñāna is kept functioning, as it discerns a world of objects and becomes attached to it, and by means of manifold habit-energy [or memory] (127) it nourishes the Ālayavijñāna.
The Manas is evolved along with the notion of an ego and its belongings, to which it clings and on which it reflects.
It has no body of its own, nor its own marks; the Ālayavijñāna is its cause and support. Because the world which is the Mind itself is imagined real and attached to as such, the whole psychic system evolves mutually conditioning.
Like the waves of the ocean, Mahāmati, the world which is the mind-manifested, is stirred up by the wind of objectivity, it evolves and dissolves.
Thus, Mahāmati, when the Manovijñāna is got rid of, the seven Vijñānas are also got rid of.
