起信論疏筆削記 18.10

18.10

《華嚴》下，引證。三無差別，謂眾生心即佛心，佛心即眾生心。又眾生是佛心中眾生，佛是眾生心中佛。以生佛相同一心體，無差別故。以同體等者，意云：匪但心體照法而已，復能起大神用利樂眾生。斯則依智淨相起不思議業相，依法出離鏡，作緣熏習鏡義也。

Regarding “The Avataṃsaka” and so forth: Citing scriptural proof. The three are without distinction: that is, the mind of sentient beings is the Buddha's mind, and the Buddha's mind is the mind of sentient beings. Furthermore, sentient beings are sentient beings within the Buddha's mind, and the Buddha is the Buddha within sentient beings' minds. This is because the characteristics of sentient beings and Buddhas share the same single mind-essence without distinction. Regarding “Because of the same essence” and so forth: The meaning is: not only does the mind-essence illuminate dharmas, but it can also give rise to great spiritual functions to benefit and gladden sentient beings. This precisely means: giving rise to the mark of inconceivable karma on the basis of the mark of pure wisdom, and functioning as the mirror of conditioning vāsanā on the basis of the mirror of dharma-emergence.
