注大乘入楞伽經 2.113

2.113

The above collectively answers the one hundred and eight phrases from the perspective of the gateway of the mind as tathatā. As for the repeated statements of 'non-', it is as Aśvaghoṣa says: "It should be understood that the intrinsic nature of tathatā is neither having marks nor lacking marks; neither not having marks nor not lacking marks; nor both having and lacking marks; neither a single mark nor different marks; neither not a single mark nor not different marks; nor both a single and different marks." Since the beginning, all defiled phenomena and all sentient beings—because they possess a deluded mind with thought-to-thought vikalpa—are entirely non-consonant with it. Thus, it is the true mind, eternally changeless, fully replete with pure phenomena, yet without any marks that can be grasped, because it is a realm free from thought, consonant only with realization.
