安樂集 1.80

「云何在心？謂彼人造罪時，自依止虛妄、顛倒心生；此十念者，依善知識方便安慰，聞實相法生。一實、一虛，豈得相比也？何者？譬如千歲闇室，光若暫至即便明朗。豈可得言：『闇在室千歲而不去。』也？是故《遺日摩尼寶經》云：『佛告迦葉菩薩：「眾生雖復數千巨億萬劫在愛欲中為罪所覆，若聞佛經一反念善，罪即消盡也。」』是名在心。

How does it lie in the mind? When that person committed transgressions, they arose naturally relying on a false and inverted mind. These ten recitations arise relying on the skillful comfort of a good spiritual friend and upon hearing the Dharma of true reality. One is real and one is false—how could they be compared? Why? For example, in a room dark for a thousand years, if light temporarily enters, it immediately becomes bright. Could one say, 'Darkness that has been in the room for a thousand years will not depart'? Therefore, the *Yiri maṇibhadra-sūtra* says: 'The Buddha told Bodhisattva Kāśyapa: "Although sentient beings have been submerged in evil karma covered by transgressions within desire for several thousands of myriad kotis of kalpas, if they hear the Buddha's sūtra and turn their mind toward good for a single instant, their transgressions are entirely extinguished."' This is called lying in the mind.
