2.38

答:眾生以五濁因緣,橫計生死,謂常樂我淨而起妄惑,墜墮三途。而今更說其身是如來藏,常樂我淨,增其倒惑,何由得出生死者也?只今行空之人即是其事。何者?而其本多貪欲三毒,聞經「婬欲即是道,恚癡亦復然,如是三法中,具無量佛法」,其不達斯妙旨,扶其惑心,更增起迷倒,豈可妄說!

Answer: Sentient beings, by cause and condition of the five turbidities, errantly calculate birth-and-death, taking it to be permanence, bliss, self, and purity, and arouse deluded afflictions, falling into the three destinies. If one were now further to tell them that their bodies are the tathāgatagarbha, permanence, bliss, self, and purity, it would increase their inverted delusions; by what means could they ever escape birth-and-death? People of the present day who practice emptiness are an example of this very thing. Why? When they fundamentally have abundant greed and the three poisons, upon hearing the sūtra say, 'Sensual desire is precisely the Way; anger and delusion are also like this; within such three dharmas, immeasurable Buddha-dharmas are fully equipped,' they do not penetrate this wondrous purport, but support their deluded minds and further multiply their confusions and inversions. How could it be spoken recklessly!
