金光明經文句記 3.105

3.105

四、「行人」下，勸先求懺悔處。然懺悔處，誰人不具？何法暫非？但為本迷，滿目不見、全心不知。故下文云「於十力前不識諸佛」。勸求覓者，須親善師、須憑妙教，勤聽勤問、審讀審思。若其然者，必於能詮識所詮體，翛然慮外，無以狀名，斯乃所求法性道理。此理至妙，為懺法所依，故名為處。若依此處而立行門，方得名為大乘懺也。

Fourth, from "practitioner" onward, [the text] exhorts one to first seek the place of repentance. Yet as for the place of repentance, who does not possess it? What phenomenon is ever apart from it? It is merely due to fundamental delusion that the eyes are filled [with it] without seeing it, and the entire mind is unaware of it. Therefore the text below states: "Before the Ten Powers, one does not recognize the Buddhas." Exhorting one to seek it means that one must draw near to a good teacher and rely on the wondrous teaching, diligently listening and questioning, carefully reading and reflecting. If one does so, one will certainly, through that which expresses, recognize the substance expressed, transcending thought, indescribable by form or name—this is indeed the principle of Dharma-nature that is sought. This principle is supreme and wondrous; being that upon which the method of repentance relies, it is therefore called the "place". If one establishes the gate of practice relying on this place, only then can it be called a Mahāyāna repentance.
