### [2.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.2.148)

如下經云「如來藏為無始虛偽惡習所熏，名為藏識。」故論云「不生不滅與生滅和合，非一非異，名為具分賴耶藏識。」是以此藏識中，不生不滅淨分真相竟不滅，但生滅染分業相滅也。若真相滅者，藏識實性亦應滅爾。若藏識實性滅，則與外道斷滅見同。是故，論云「所言滅者，唯心相滅，非心體滅。」又云「唯癡滅故，心相隨滅，非心智滅。」

> As a later passage of the sūtra says: 'The tathāgatagarbha, perfumed by beginningless false, unwholesome latencies, is called the storehouse consciousness.' Thus the treatise says: 'The unarisen and unceasing coalesces with the arisen and ceasing; being neither identical nor different, it is called the complete ālayavijñāna storehouse consciousness.' Therefore, within this storehouse consciousness, the unarisen and unceasing pure true characteristic never ceases; only the arisen and ceasing defiled karmic characteristics cease. If the true characteristic were to cease, the true nature of the storehouse consciousness would also cease. If the true nature of the storehouse consciousness ceased, it would be identical to the annihilationist views of the non-Buddhists. For this reason, the treatise says: 'What is called cessation is only the cessation of the mind's characteristics, not the cessation of the mind's substance.' It also says: 'Only because delusion ceases do the mind's characteristics cease accordingly, not the cessation of the mind's wisdom.'
