大乘起信論裂網疏 3.11

3.11

This matches the Dharma to the metaphor. 'Enlightenment' and 'original enlightenment' match the word 'directions', still referring to tathatā. 'Furthermore, it is in dependence on non-enlightenment that true enlightenment is spoken of' means that it is like speaking of awakening to the directions because of being lost about the directions. This term 'true enlightenment' refers directly to ultimate initial enlightenment. When initial enlightenment unites with the original, there is no longer any difference between original and initial; when original enlightenment is identical to the true, there is no longer any division between principle and wisdom; hence it is said 'true enlightenment is also dispelled.' The first section, universally clarifying that non-enlightenment relies on enlightenment and therefore lacks reality, is concluded.
