2.31

二如世間一切井泉以海為體,若人飲者皆得海味一體無異,但隨業力不得鹹味。此經亦爾,若有大心眾生聞持信入,便得如來法身佛性大悲智味。闡提之人無所堪任,然如來智性常作生因。

Second, just as all wells and springs in the world have the ocean as their essence, and whoever drinks from them attains the ocean's taste, of one essence without difference, though according to the power of their karma they do not perceive the salty taste, this sūtra is also like this: if sentient beings of great aspiration hear, retain, believe, and enter it, they directly attain the taste of the Tathāgata's dharmakāya, Buddha-nature, great compassion, and wisdom. Icchantikas have no capacity for it, yet the Tathāgata's wisdom-nature constantly acts as the cause of generation [for them].
