注大乘入楞伽經 2.216

2.216

如是現識，及七轉識，八種心識，唯有生滅無常相耶？亦有實相常住相耶？如是八識，從無始來，三際不動、四相不遷，真實常住，自性清淨，功德滿足，無有二相。故云八識無別相，無能相所相。譬如海波浪，是則無差別，諸識心如是，異亦不可得。

Do this manifesting consciousness and the seven evolving consciousnesses—these eight kinds of mind and consciousness—possess only the characteristics of arising, ceasing, and impermanence? Or do they also possess the characteristics of reality and eternal abiding? These eight consciousnesses, from beginningless time, do not stir across the three periods of time, do not alter through the four characteristics, and are truly and eternally abiding, pure in own-nature, complete in merits, and without dual characteristics. Therefore it says: "The eight consciousnesses have no distinct characteristics, / Nor is there that which characterizes or that which is characterized. / Just as ocean waves / Are thus without distinction, / So are the minds of the various consciousnesses; / Difference also cannot be found."
