2.16

問:「如有難云:若諸有心悉得菩提者,佛亦有心,亦應當得。若言佛雖有心,更非當得,是即無性眾生雖有是心,亦非當得。」答:「經中已自揀濫故,但云眾生有心,不云佛矣,以處處受生名為眾生,故不同佛也。」

Question: "As someone might object: 'If all who possess a mind attain awakening, the Buddha also possesses a mind and should also attain it. If it is said that although the Buddha possesses a mind, he no longer will attain it, then sentient beings lacking gotra, although possessing this mind, also will not attain it.'" Answer: "The sūtra has already made its own distinction to eliminate ambiguity; it merely says that sentient beings have minds, not that the Buddha does. Because taking rebirth in various places is termed 'sentient beings,' they are not the same as the Buddha."
