瑜伽論記 20.73

20.73

Master Bei, stating the text on being fully endowed with all primordial virtues, says: Primordially existent tathatā is precisely the nature that constantly gives rise to all virtues; it refers to the primordially existent constant nature. There is an explanation saying: 'Because there is no ignorance upon tathatā, it is called wisdom; because there is no distraction, it is called samādhi'—this is not so. If it were like this, inanimate dharmas also lack ignorance, so they should possess wisdom and samādhi. Another explanation says: 'Being inseparable from conditioned virtues produced through cultivation is called being endowed with virtues'—this reasoning is also not so. If it were like this, being inseparable from non-existence should be called non-existence.
