大乘起信論別記 1.68

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1845.1.68)

言「若得無念，則知心相生住異滅」者，由未得無念時，不能遍知一切心相皆悉是夢，故不得名覺。佛得無念故，能遍知一切眾生眠於無明、夢於四相，方得名覺。

> When it says, "If one attains thoughtlessness, then one knows the arising, abiding, change, and ceasing of the characteristics of the mind," it is because when one has not yet attained thoughtlessness, one cannot completely know that all characteristics of the mind are entirely dreams, and hence one cannot be called enlightened. Because the Buddha has attained thoughtlessness, he can completely know that all sentient beings sleep in avidyā and dream in the four characteristics; only then does he receive the name of enlightenment.
