2.81

故《義例》云:諸色心現時,如金銀隱起。心全金故,收一切隱起。色全金故,亦收一切隱起。故若說唯心,亦論唯色。既皆唯、皆遍,故皆論有於佛性也。

Therefore the Yili states: "When all forms and minds appear, they are like embossments on gold and silver. Because mind is entirely gold, it encompasses all embossments; because form is entirely gold, it likewise encompasses all embossments." Therefore, if one speaks of mind-only, one also discusses form-only. Since both are "only" and both are pervasive, both are discussed as possessing buddha-nature.
