非 垢 行,非 淨 行,是 菩 薩 行 。
《維摩詰所說經》卷 2
That which is neither defiled nor pure is the
Bodhisattva practice.
Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra, Vol. 2
凡是有見聞覺知的心,一定會與淨、垢兩法相應:離
淨就落入垢一邊,離垢就落入淨一邊。只要有六塵中
的見聞覺知,就免不了像二乘聖者的取淨捨垢,或如
世俗人的取垢捨淨。「非垢行,非淨行」,當然是只有
如來藏才能永遠做到,因為祂離見聞覺知,所以無垢
無淨可說,這就是二乘法所不及之處。二乘法是以意
識為中心而修的,一定會落在淨行裡面,不能說非淨
行。所以只有大乘菩薩行於非垢行、非淨行中,遠離
垢與淨兩邊 ;並且不是現在才如此,而是無始劫以來
就已經如此 ;親證這樣的境界,才可叫作菩薩行。

Any mind that sees, hears, feels and knows will
correspond to either the defiled or the pure dharma: If
the mind leaves purity, it enters the defiled, and vice
versa. So long as the mind sees, hears, feels or knows
the six sense-objects, it will either choose the pure
dharma over the defiled, as in the case of Two-Vehicle
saints, or choose the defiled dharma over the pure, as in
the case of ordinary people. Only the Tathagatagarbha
can forever remain in the state of neither defiled nor pure.
As the Tathagatagarbha does not see, hear, feel or know,
one cannot speak of being defiled and pure. This truth is
beyond the scope of the Two-Vehicle dharma. Since the
practice of the Two-Vehicle dharma centers on the
conscious mind, it will inevitably fall into the pure
practice and cannot be regarded as transcending purity.
Hence, only the practice of Mahayana bodhisattvas is
neither pure nor defiled; it transcends the extremes of
being defiled or pure. Moreover, the Tathagatagarbha
has had such properties for endless eons, not just for
now. One must personally realize such a state to be able
to claim that one is involved in the bodhisattva practice.
