大乘起信論裂網疏 3.74

3.74

Even for a bodhisattva of equal enlightenment, who has not yet transformed the ripening consciousness into the taintless consciousness, its source cannot yet be exhausted. Only in the Buddha stage, having associated with the great round mirror wisdom, can one thoroughly penetrate the very bounds and depths of its nature and characteristics. The first part, explaining in general the profundity of the meaning, is concluded.
