大乘起信論裂網疏 1.17

1.17

Being hesitant and unclear regarding the actual principles and phenomena of the tathatā and the arising and ceasing of the one mind is named "doubt." Falsely imputing a self of persons and a self of dharmas onto the selfless tathāgatagarbha is named "erroneous grasping." When doubt is removed and grasping cast off, correct faith naturally arises. Arousing Mahāyāna faith, one is certain to become a Buddha. Saving oneself and saving others, like lamp lighting lamp inexhaustibly, is therefore "continuing the Buddha-seed." The initial verses are concluded.
