大慧白佛言:「世尊!不建立八識邪?」佛言:「建立。」大慧白佛言:「若建立者,云何離意識非七識?」佛告大慧:「彼因及彼攀緣故,七識不生。意識者,境界分段計著生,習氣長養藏識意俱,我我所計著思惟因緣生,不壞身相,藏識因攀緣自心現境界計著,心聚生,展轉相因。譬如海浪,自心現境界風吹,若生若滅亦如是。是故意識滅、七識亦滅。」

Mahāmati addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One, do you not establish the eight consciousnesses?"
The Buddha said: "I establish [them]."
Mahāmati addressed the Buddha, saying: "If they are established, why is it that apart from the mental consciousness there are not seven consciousnesses?"
The Buddha told Mahāmati: "Because of that cause and that objective support, the seven consciousnesses do not arise. As for the mental consciousness, it arises from grasping at the segmented divisions of sense objects; nourished by vāsanā, it is conjoined with the storehouse consciousness and the [manas] mind; arising from the causes and conditions of reflecting on and grasping at 'I' and 'mine', without destroying the marks of the body, because of the storehouse consciousness grasping at the realms appearing from one's own mind as its objective support, the assembly of minds arises, mutually causing one another. Just as with the waves of the ocean, blown by the wind of realms appearing from one's own mind, their arising and ceasing are also like this. Therefore, when the mental consciousness ceases, the seven consciousnesses also cease."
