大般涅槃經義記 8.13

8.13

自下第二對前德王本無之執，明非本無。真識之心本為惑覆，非先無染而不與彼貪結等合，非本無淨，本有染故，所以可脫。文中有二：一就凡時明心相染而體性淨、二「諸佛菩薩永破貪」下約就前義明有解脫。

From here below is the second part, against the previous grasping at original non-existence by Guṇarāja, clarifying that it is not originally non-existent. The mind of true consciousness is originally covered by delusion; it is not that there was previously no defilement, yet it does not combine with those fetters of greed and the like; it is not that there was originally no purity, yet because there was originally defilement, it can therefore be liberated. In the text there are two parts: first, clarifying that at the time of an ordinary person, the mind's characteristics are defiled while its essential nature is pure; second, from "buddhas and bodhisattvas eternally destroy greed" downward, clarifying based on the preceding meaning that there is liberation.
