3.91

The meaning of perfuming is: just as worldly clothes actually have no fragrance, yet if a person perfumes them with incense, then there is fragrance. This is also like that: the pure phenomenon of tathatā actually has no defilement, but only because avidyā perfumes it, there are marks of defilement. The defiled phenomenon of avidyā actually has no pure action, but only because tathatā perfumes it, there is pure function.
