阿彌陀經疏 1.67

1.67

答：「《攝論》云：唯識智為體，謂佛及菩薩，唯識智為體。即《金剛般若論》云：智習唯識通，如是取淨土。若《佛地論》：以佛自在無漏心為體，非離佛淨心外別有寶等淨色也。又釋者，是彼佛大慈悲願力無分別後得智為體。」

Answer: "The Mahāyānasaṃgraha says: 'Cognition of consciousness-only is its essential nature'—meaning that for the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, cognition of consciousness-only is its essential nature. This is what the Vajracchedikā-śāstra states: 'Cognition practices consciousness-only mastery; thus one apprehends the pure land.' According to the Buddhabhūmi-śāstra: 'The Buddha's sovereign, untainted mind is its essential nature; it is not that apart from the Buddha's pure mind there is separately any pure form of jewels or the like.' Another explanation is that the Buddha's power of vows of great compassion and non-conceptual, subsequently attained cognition are its essential nature."
