境行果

Pronunciations

Basic Meaning: objects, practices, and realization

Senses:

  • Object 境 refers to the objects of faith and understanding; practices 行 refers to the contemplative exercises 修行 that arise from faith and understanding; realization 果 refers to that which is attained as a result of the practices. The objects include all dharmas of wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate quality, which one scrutinizes to determine whether or not they have an essence, are conditioned or unconditioned. Practice means to act upon the three kinds of wisdom of that which is heard, thought about, and cultivated. Realization based on contaminated 有漏 practices results in the attainment of worldly effects; realization based on uncontaminated 無漏 practices results in the destruction of both hindrances 二障 and the attainment of great enlightenment 大菩提. 〔成唯識論學記 HBJ 3.484a6; 般若心經幽贊, 成唯識論述記, 大乘法苑義林章〕 [Charles Muller; source(s): Ui, FGD]
