金剛三昧經論 1.35

1.35

論曰：此下第二標所觀法，亦有二句：一者直標所觀法深、二者為他說是深法。一覺了義者，一心本覺如來藏義，過是永無餘深法故。難解者，義甚深，非諸二乘所知見故。難入者，體甚深，唯佛菩薩乃能入故。即以後句而釋前句，欲明初門所標佛智所入實法相者，直是一心本覺如來藏法。如《楞伽經》言「寂滅者名為一心，一心者名如來藏。」今此文言實法相者是寂滅義，一覺了義者即是一心如來藏義。《法華論》云「諸佛如來能知彼法究竟實相。」言實相者，謂如來藏法身之體不變義故。今此經言一覺者，一切諸法唯是一心，一切眾生是一本覺，由是義故名為一覺。至下演中當更分別。

The treatise says: Below this is the second [part], marking the dharma that is contemplated, which also has two phrases: first, directly marking the depth of the dharma contemplated; second, explaining this profound dharma for others. "The definitive meaning of the single awakening" is the meaning of the innate awakening of the one mind, the tathāgatagarbha, beyond which there is forever no other profound dharma. "Difficult to comprehend" means that its meaning is exceedingly profound, not known or seen by any of the two vehicles. "Difficult to enter" means that its essence is exceedingly profound, able to be entered only by buddhas and bodhisattvas. The preceding phrase is glossed by means of the subsequent phrase: it intends to clarify that the real character of dharmas entered by buddha-wisdom marked in the first approach is directly the dharma of the innate awakening of the one mind, the tathāgatagarbha. As the Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra says: "That which is tranquil and extinct is called the one mind; the one mind is called the tathāgatagarbha." Now, what this text calls the "real character of dharmas" is the meaning of tranquility and extinction; the "definitive meaning of the single awakening" is precisely the meaning of the one mind and the tathāgatagarbha. The Saddharmapuṇḍarīkopadeśa says: "All buddha-tathāgatas are able to know that dharma's ultimate real character." As for "real character," it refers to the meaning of the unchangeableness of the essence of the tathāgatagarbha and dharma-body. Now, when this sūtra says "single awakening," all dharmas are solely the one mind, and all sentient beings are this single innate awakening; by virtue of this meaning it is called the single awakening. It will be distinguished further in the exposition below.
