However, with respect to this arising-and-ceasing and non-arising-and-ceasing, when approached according to meaning they are not one, but when examined as mind they are not different. Denominating this non-dual mind of these two meanings, it is named the ālayavijñāna. Furthermore, āliya and ālaya are merely variations in Sanskrit pronunciation. Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha of the Liang dynasty glossed the name and translated it as the "consciousness without loss" (wumoshi); Master Xuanzang nowadays translates it according to its meaning as the "storehouse consciousness" (zangshi). But "storehouse" (zang) has the meaning of containing and storing, while "without loss" (wumo) has the meaning of not being lost; the meaning is one, while the names differ. What is contained is called "storehouse" because sentient beings grasp it as a self. Why is this so? Truly, because the true mind does not preserve its own nature, but accords with perfuming and unites, seeming to be one and seeming to be permanent; therefore, foolish people take what is seeming to be true and grasp it as an internal self; being contained by the view of self, it is therefore named the "storehouse". Because of this meaning, when the two kinds of view of self are permanently prevented from arising, the name ālaya is lost. Furthermore, it can store its own essence within all dharmas, and can also store all dharmas within its own essence; thus the treatise says: "[It is named the ālaya because of its meanings of] capable of storing, what is stored, and being grasped as the object of self-love." This is what it refers to. This is establishing the name based on meaning.
