11.3

The treatise says, "Third, innate power." The Buddhas only ripen expedient goodness and do not ripen innate goodness, for innate goodness is exclusively contaminated; bodhisattvas possess both kinds. Now, speaking of innate power: it is expedient goodness. Having been practiced in previous lifetimes, it is now born together with the body; hence it is called innate power. It is not that innate goodness is designated as innate power.
