8.96

如來藏者,自性清淨心在纏之名也。佛言陰界入中雖無我而有如來藏,能受善不善因,故能遍興造六道生死法。譬如伎兒依呪術故,變起六道形色法,無我我所。凡夫依如來藏起六道生死,無我我所亦如是。

The tathāgatagarbha is the designation for the intrinsically pure mind when it is enclosed in defilements. The Buddha states that although there is no self in the skandhas, dhātus, and āyatanas, there is the tathāgatagarbha, which can receive wholesome and unwholesome causes and thus can broadly produce the saṃsāric phenomena of the six destinies. For example, just as a magician, relying on spells, conjures the physical forms of the six destinies, which are free from self and what belongs to a self; so too ordinary people rely on the tathāgatagarbha to give rise to the saṃsāra of the six destinies, which is likewise free from self and what belongs to a self.
