注大乘入楞伽經 5.132

5.132

計有煩惱能縛眾生，後時修道能解眾生，如人先以繩縛，縛已復解亦復如是，名縛解分別。

[This means] positing that afflictions can bind sentient beings and that later cultivation of the path can liberate sentient beings; just as a person is first bound with a rope and, having been bound, is then untied, so it is in this case too. This is called the discrimination of bondage and liberation.
