8.26

問既下，四問答通妨，有二問答。初問中，怪前所引經文云如來藏者不在阿梨耶中。答意云：真與妄合方曰梨耶，其如梨耶都無自體。且約義說，則真妄二法悉在其中。由是梨耶為總、真妄為別，只合言在總中，不合言在別中。今既分動靜，則使梨耶總義不成，無中可在，故云不在梨耶中。

Under 'question: since', fourth, questions and answers resolving objections, with two questions and answers. In the first question, one wonders at the sūtra text cited earlier saying that the tathāgatagarbha is not within the ālaya. The meaning of the answer says: only when the true and the false combine is it called the ālaya, but the ālaya has no essence of its own whatsoever. Spoken temporarily in terms of meaning, both the true and false dharmas are entirely within it. Due to this, the ālaya is the general, while the true and the false are the specific; one should only say that they are within the general, not that they are within the specific. Now, since stillness and motion have been distinguished, this causes the general meaning of the ālaya not to be established, and there is no 'within' in which it could reside; hence it says it is 'not within the ālaya'.
