2.7

真記云：大聖攝生欲令契理捨事等者，此約同教義云也。一報相者，如來藏與染和合成名色報，如大海水因風成波也。二彼因相者，所起名色即是如來藏真識，如所起波即是水也。三彼果次第相者，彼所起果無有餘物，唯一真心之所迴轉，如差別波波唯一海水所迴轉也。此中離我我所者，唯一真心之體無有餘物，何者是我？何是我所乎？非眾生數者，猶如流水恒流不絕無厭捨時，由無念故也。眾生亦爾，流轉生死無斷絕者，只由自體無我故爾，是故云非眾生數也。黎耶微細者，黎耶即如來藏故也。即成實性者，約三乘云如來藏實性也，約一乘云甚深真性也，下云「此義在三乘亦通一乘」故也。

Zhen's Record states: Regarding 'The Great Sage guides sentient beings, wishing to make them accord with principle and abandon phenomena,' etc., this is spoken in terms of the shared teaching. First, the retributive characteristic: the tathāgatagarbha and defilement unite to form the retribution of name-and-form, like the water of the great ocean forming waves on account of the wind. Second, that causal characteristic: the name-and-form that is generated is none other than the true consciousness of the tathāgatagarbha, just as the waves that are raised are none other than the water. Third, that characteristic of sequential fruitions: those fruits that are generated have no other thing; they are only the turning of the one true mind, just as distinct waves are each only the turning of the one ocean water. Regarding 'Herein, free from self and what belongs to self': the substance of the one true mind has no other thing; what could be the self? What could be what belongs to the self? Regarding 'not included among sentient beings': like flowing water that constantly flows without ceasing and has no time of weariness or abandonment, because it is without thought. Sentient beings are also like this: that they cycle in birth and death without interruption is solely because their own substance is without self; therefore it says 'not included among sentient beings.' Regarding 'the ālayavijñāna is subtle': it is because the ālaya is none other than the tathāgatagarbha. Regarding 'it is established as the true nature': in terms of the three vehicles, it is called the true nature of the tathāgatagarbha; in terms of the One Vehicle, it is called the profound true nature. Hence it is said below, 'This meaning is in the three vehicles and also applies to the One Vehicle.'
