起信論疏筆削記 3.8

3.8

依如來藏下，全引論文，顯生滅相也。終教者，詮法窮極，非同始教，是衍初門，故名終教，今《起信論》正明此義。以始教下，揀顯。以始教中亦說賴耶，而不說是藏性所成；今說性成故，非彼分故。《密嚴》云：佛說如來藏，以為阿賴耶，惡慧不能知，藏即賴耶識。

From "Relying on the tathāgatagarbha..." below: fully citing the text of the treatise to reveal the marks of arising and ceasing. "Final teaching": it expresses dharmas to the ultimate extent, unlike the initial teaching, which is the beginning gate of the Mahāyāna; therefore it is named the final teaching. The present Awakening of Faith properly clarifies this meaning. From "Because the initial teaching..." below: distinguishing and clarifying. Because the initial teaching also speaks of the ālaya[-vijñāna], but does not say it is formed by the nature of the garbha; now it speaks of it being formed by the nature, hence it does not belong to that category. The Ghanavyūha-sūtra says: "The Buddha spoke of the tathāgatagarbha / as the ālayavijñāna; / those of evil intellect cannot understand / that the garbha is the ālaya consciousness."
