注大乘入楞伽經 8.98

8.98

This means that because the two vehicles do not realize the selflessness of the tathāgatagarbha, they imagine the combination of the three conditions of sense faculties, objects, and consciousness to be the cause of arising. Because non-Buddhists do not realize the selflessness of the tathāgatagarbha, they imagine an ātman and so forth to be the creator. Perfumed by beginningless evil habit-energy, the tathāgatagarbha is named the storehouse consciousness (ālayavijñāna), which "generates the ground of the abiding condition of ignorance for the seven consciousnesses." The last two lines are alternatively read: "generates the ground of the abiding condition of ignorance, coexisting with the seven consciousnesses."
