注大乘入楞伽經 3.262

3.262

言如來所說不同外道神我也。外道說我，如麻麥拇指，立其定相。佛說如來藏，或名為空，或名實際，乃至無願。斯則體一，應物名異，不同外道所說神我。以愚夫恐怖於無我故，如來方便說無所有境界，作如來藏門，勸諸菩薩不應於此同於外道計我。

This states that what the Tathāgata teaches is not identical with the ātman of non-Buddhists. Non-Buddhists speak of the self as being like a sesame seed, a grain of barley, or a thumb, establishing its fixed characteristics. The Buddha speaks of the tathāgatagarbha, sometimes naming it emptiness, sometimes the limit of reality (bhūta-koṭi), down to wishlessness. Thus its substance is one, its names differ according to the circumstances, and it is not identical with the ātman spoken of by non-Buddhists. Because fools are terrified of selflessness, the Tathāgata expediently speaks of the realm of non-existence to make the gateway of the tathāgatagarbha, urging the bodhisattvas that they should not grasp a self here in the manner of non-Buddhists.
