大乘起信論義記 2.233

2.233

A doubt says: Defiled dharmas are manifold and differentiated; how can their fundamental root be avidyā alone? It is explained: Although defiled dharmas are many, they are all the breath of avidyā, entirely differentiated marks of non-enlightenment, and therefore not different from non-enlightenment. Hence it says, "Because all defiled dharmas are marks of non-enlightenment." The general explanation of the meaning of non-enlightenment above, which analyzes the mind's arising and ceasing with reference to defiled dharmas, is concluded.
