Summary The Xianyanshengjiaolun states that "For the fool, cloaked by ignorance and tied to craving，this body is wrought on this fool." This is based on the Alayavijnana as expressed in Samyukagama no. 294, comparable to the Samyutta-nikaya 12. 19. Balena pandito (The wise man compare with the fool).
Actually，the complete text is "For the fool and wise man，cloaked by ignorance and tied to craving，this body is wrought on this fool and wise man." Because of the body，the stupid and the wise both feel suffering and happiness. However，fools do not practice pure deed，cannot sever ignorance，have endless cravings until their bodies wear out and die; then they are reincarnated in another body，trapped in the cycle of rebirth. The wise practice pure deed，sever ignorance，have an end to craving，so that when their bodies wear out and die，they are no longer reincarnated in another body，but achieve liberation.
The Vastusamgrahana of the Yogacarabhumi interprets this under the heading of "The Difference between Fools and the Wise," discussing the differences in prior，middle，and latter phases.
The Abhidharma sastra of Sarvastivada quotes this mainly to prove that the five hindrances do not include the ignorance hindrance; the bodies of Arahats are also born from ignorance; the Buddha's body also can cause the defilement; and except cravings, other dharmas may cause the cycle of rebirth. The Chengshilun，which is close to the doctrine of the Darstantika, interprets the kaya as the upadana-skandha.
The contemporary Venerable Yinshun deems the proof given by the Xianyanshengjiaolun as "factor of vijnana" to prove the Alayavijnana, with the premise of vijnana at the moment of conception. As it contains all seeds which gradually give rise to a sensitive，living organism, this implies the "Mind-only" theory of vijnana produces the lives.
The sutra says, "For living beings, cloaked by ignorance and tied to craving，this vijnana-body is wrought on them." This refers to the three main stages of birth (ignorance, formation，and consciousness)，as well as to the fundamental meaning of "Dependent Origination." And use this sutra as the proof of the fourth right worldly view：Life and death follow each other continuously; the wise achieve liberation，unlike the ignorant who remain chained; believe this without doubt. The sutras state the right view of the existence of both ordinary people and the sages.
