楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 2.8

2.8

「譬如陶家，於一泥聚，以人工、水木、輪繩方便作種種器。如來亦復如是，於法無我離一切妄想相，以種種智慧善巧方便，或說如來藏、或說無我。以是因緣故說如來藏，不同外道所說之我，是名說如來藏。開引計我諸外道故，說如來藏，令離不實我見妄想，入三解脫境界，希望疾得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。是故如來、應供、等正覺作如是說如來之藏；若不如是則同外道。是故大慧！為離外道見故，當依無我如來之藏。」

"Just as a potter, with a single lump of clay, uses human labor, water, wood, the wheel, and rope as skillful means to make various vessels, the Tathāgata is also like this: in the selflessness of dharmas which is free from all marks of vikalpa, through various kinds of wisdom and skillful means, he speaks either of the tathāgatagarbha or of selflessness. For this reason, he speaks of the tathāgatagarbha, which is not the same as the self spoken of by the tīrthikas; this is called teaching the tathāgatagarbha. In order to guide and attract the tīrthikas who cling to a self, he speaks of the tathāgatagarbha to cause them to abandon the false vikalpa of the view of a self, enter into the realm of the three liberations, and hope to swiftly attain anuttarā samyaksambodhi. Therefore the Tathāgatas, Arhats, Samyaksambuddhas speak of the tathāgatagarbha in this way; if it were not like this, it would be the same as the tīrthikas. Therefore, Mahāmati, to be free from the views of the tīrthikas, you should rely on the selfless tathāgatagarbha."
