5.132

答曰:若爾,與地人用《楞伽經》,豈不碩相逆!今研兩家所執,互有得失。若言「阿黎耶識非本性清淨」者,《攝大乘論》何故云「如地即是金土,黎耶識亦爾,染同於土,淨同於金」,故知義通二邊,何兩家偏執。今說黎耶識,即是真性解脫者如金,即是生死根本者如土。

Answer: If so, would that not contradict the masters of the Daśabhūmika who rely on the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra to a great extent? Now, examining what the two schools adhere to, each has its strengths and flaws. If one says that 'the *ālayavijñāna* is not pure in its original nature,' why does the Mahāyānasaṃgraha state: 'Just as earth contains both gold and dirt, the *ālayavijñāna* is likewise; defilement corresponds to the dirt, and purity corresponds to the gold'? Thus we know the meaning extends to both sides; why should the two schools cling one-sidedly? Now we say that the *ālayavijñāna* being the liberation of the true nature is like the gold, while being the root of birth-and-death is like the dirt.
