8.17

疏「若謂佛性有二」下,第七遮救無性。於中二:先牒救辭、後辯差當。今初。彼《法華疏》云「然性有二種:一者理性,《勝鬘》所說如來藏是。二者行性,《楞伽》所說如來藏是。前性皆有,後性或無。」故今許云「斯言可爾」。「故涅槃云」下,引經為證。

The Commentary states: "If one maintains that Buddha-nature is twofold..." and below; this is the seventh part, blocking the defense of having no nature. Within this, there are two parts: first, citing their defense, and second, discerning its validity. As for the first: That commentary on the Lotus [Sūtra] says: "However, nature is of two kinds: first, the nature of principle, which is the tathāgatagarbha expounded in the Śrīmālā[devī-sūtra]; second, the nature of practice, which is the tathāgatagarbha expounded in the Laṅkā[vatāra-sūtra]. All possess the former nature, whereas some may lack the latter nature." Therefore, the text now concedes: "These words are acceptable." The phrase "Hence the Nirvāṇa says..." and below cites the sūtra as proof.
