Question 3: Fazang's commentary already says: 'The Consciousness-Only school only speaks of the arising and perishing of the eight consciousnesses, which, even when transformed into the four wisdoms, are solely conditioned and cannot be identical to principle.' Since Jingxi established that the separate principle is called buddha-nature, is it merely transforming the eight consciousnesses into the four wisdoms? Since the separate principle is buddha-nature, it follows pure conditions to become the fruitional buddha. How can you say it does not follow conditions?
