思考(2007/12/11)

2007/12/11 09:30初版；2015/01/16修訂(探討第二個〈攝決擇分〉之譯文)

今天抄讀英文廣論的內容中，有一段與漢譯對照後，覺得兩者之間有些落差，因此把它抄錄下來作為思考題綱如下：

Even if you lack extensive knowledge of the means of accomplishing the actual first stabilization and so on, you should certainly look carefully into the heart of the following discussions and come to know at least something of the teachings themselves, free of your own fabrications: (1) the discussion given above concerning the nine ways of focusing your mind, set forth in the previously cited Madhyamaka Stages of Meditation, that are the means of accomplishing the aforementioned "serenity," or "attention" that comes from the profound Perfection of Wisdom sūtras, etc.; (2) their intended meaning as expounded in Maitreya's Ornament for the Mahāyāna Sūtras; (3) the noble Asaṅga's summary discussions of them in his Bodhisattva Levels, Compendium of Knowledge, and Compendium of Determinations, and extensive explanation of them in his Śrāvaka Levels in accordance with the indication in his Compendium of Bases ( Vastusaṃgraha ) that both serenity and insight are discussed in the Śrāvaka Levels; (4) the discussions of their meaning in the Madhyamaka Stages of Meditation and Ratnākaraśānti's Instructions for the Perfection of Wisdom; and also (5) the way to accomplish serenity through the eight antidotes and the ways to eliminate the five faults, in Maitreya's Separation of the Middle from the Extremes.

縱未廣知修初靜慮等根本定法，然於前說修奢摩他，或名作意法定當了知。此是般若波羅蜜多甚深經等所說九種住心，中觀《修次》之所建立，如前已引。又《莊嚴經論》及無著菩薩，於〈菩薩地〉、《大乘對法》、〈攝決擇分〉解彼意趣。又〈攝事分〉於止觀二法，指〈聲聞地〉，故〈聲聞地〉解釋最廣。又此諸義，中觀《修次諸論》及《慧度教授論》亦曾宣說。又《辨中邊論》說，由八斷行斷五過理，修奢摩他法，今善觀彼等諸心要義，略示一二全無杜撰。
