6.175

闡提謗大乘障,外道橫計身中有我障,聲聞怖畏生死障,支佛背捨利益眾生障;菩薩修四法為對治:修信、修般若、修虛空定首楞嚴定、修大悲,得清淨法界,到彼岸,見如來性,生如來家,是佛子也。既道見如來性,生如來家,當知用如來為父也。無量法門,不可說不可說,皆能生佛子(云云)。

The obstacle of an icchantika slandering the Great Vehicle, the obstacle of non-Buddhists falsely imputing a self within the body, the obstacle of śrāvakas fearing birth-and-death, and the obstacle of pratyekabuddhas turning their backs on benefiting sentient beings—bodhisattvas cultivate four practices to counter them: cultivating faith, cultivating prajñā, cultivating space-like samādhi and Śūraṅgama-samādhi, and cultivating great compassion. They attain the pure realm of phenomena, reach the other shore, see the Tathāgata-nature, and are born into the house of the Tathāgata—they are the Buddha's children. Since it is said that they see the Tathāgata-nature and are born into the Tathāgata's house, one should know that they take the Tathāgata as their father. Limitless, ineffable and ineffable Dharma-gates can all give birth to Buddha-children, and so forth.
