4.158

"The Large Prajñāpāramitā..." below: clarifies the characteristics of faith. Seeing that there are dharmas such as form, mind, and the three categories is having faith in all dharmas. Now, illuminating them with prajñā, all drifting dust and illusory appearances are born right there and vanish along with the place; what is called "marks" is illusory and false, while their nature is truly the wondrous essence of luminous awakening. Not believing in all dharmas is what can truly be called having faith in prajñā. It is just like a pure eye not seeing flowers in the sky; if one clings to flowers in the sky, how could one believe in a pure eye? The application to the Dharma can be known accordingly, revealing faith in the sūtra.
