勝鬘寶窟 3.48

3.48

第二同異門。此經始終明如來藏凡有六處：一〈如來藏章〉明如來藏甚深，非三慧境；竟此明諦處說藏深，以藏深類諦深。二〈空義隱覆章〉明佛知能藏是空、所藏非空，佛具空不空二智，此就一滅諦中辨空不空，為成一滅諦義。三〈顛倒真實章〉明如來藏為一切染淨作依持用義。四〈顛倒真實章〉未明如來藏絕一切相，即是明所藏是空義，於緣不了，故成顛倒，即是能藏不空。五明如來藏有五藏義。六明如來藏自性清淨為煩惱染，此明佛性有六條，義乃圓足。

Second is the gate of similarities and differences. Throughout this sūtra, the tathāgatagarbha is explained in six places in total: First, the "Chapter on the Tathāgatagarbha" explains that the tathāgatagarbha is extremely profound, not the realm of the three wisdoms; up to the explanation of the truths, it speaks of the garbha's depth, analogizing the depth of the truths to the depth of the garbha. Second, the "Chapter on the Hidden and Veiled Meaning of Emptiness" explains that the Buddha knows that the active concealer is empty and that what is concealed is not empty, and that the Buddha possesses both the wisdoms of emptiness and non-emptiness; this discriminates empty and non-empty within the single truth of cessation in order to complete the meaning of the single truth of cessation. Third, the chapter "Perverted and Real" explains the functional meaning of the tathāgatagarbha as the foundation and support for all defilement and purity. Fourth, the end of the chapter "Perverted and Real" clarifies that the tathāgatagarbha transcends all marks, which clarifies the meaning that what is concealed is empty; failing to understand conditions constitutes perversion, which means that the active concealer is not empty. Fifth, it explains that the tathāgatagarbha has the meaning of five garphas. Sixth, it explains that the tathāgatagarbha is intrinsically pure yet defiled by defilements. This clarifies that the buddhadhātu has six aspects, whereby its meaning is complete and sufficient.
