2.114
The Buddha expresses this true nature through the sounds of words, and now my comprehension is again the conditioning mind. What is the difference between the true nature that is awakened to and the conditioning mind that awakens, and the Tathāgata's earlier reproach: 'Just as you now listen to my Dharma, this is having discrimination because of sound'? Therefore, he does not dare recognize it as the ground of mind. The mind has the capacity to produce and can be relied upon, which is compared to the ground. "Complete sound" refers to how every word of the Buddha completely reaches all realms of sentient beings, while its sounds and tones are never confused, as explained in the Commentary on the Awakening of Faith.
