大乘起信論義記 3.186

### [3.186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.3.186)

以一切法乃至無念者，舉所迷理也。而有妄心等者，依真起妄，謂細麁染心本末不覺也。將欲釋淨，先舉其染，對以顯之。下諸句例然。云何顯者，以心相念起，即是不覺無明故。知心性不起，即是本覺智明，故云大智慧光明義也。

> "Because all dharmas... devoid of thought" cites the principle about which one is deluded. "Yet there is a deluded mind..." means that delusion arises in reliance on truth, referring to the subtle and coarse defiled minds, root and branch non-enlightenment. Intending to explain purity, it first cites its defilement to reveal it in contrast. The subsequent sentences follow the same pattern. As for how it is revealed: because the marks of the mind arising as thoughts are precisely non-enlightenment and avidyā, knowing that the mind-nature does not arise is precisely the luminous wisdom of innate enlightenment; hence it is called "the meaning of the light of great wisdom."
