南宗頓教最上大乘摩訶般若波羅蜜經六祖惠能大師於韶州大梵寺施法壇經 1.36

1.36

「一切經書及文字，小大二乘，十二部經，皆因人置，因智惠性故，故然能建立。我若無世人，一切萬法本亦不有。故知萬法本從人興，一切經書因人說有。緣在人中有愚有智，愚為小人，智為大人。迷人問於智者，智人與愚人說法，令使愚者悟解心開。迷人若悟解心開，與大智人無別。故知不悟，即佛是眾生；一念若悟，即眾生是佛。故知一切萬法，盡在自身心中，何不從於自心頓見真如本性。《梵網菩薩戒經》云：『本源自性清淨。』識心見性，自成佛道。《維摩經》云：『即時豁然，還得本心。』

"All scriptures and written words, the two vehicles—Small and Great—and the twelve divisions of scriptures, were all instituted on account of human beings; because of the nature of wisdom, they could thus be established. If there were no worldly people, the myriad phenomena would fundamentally not exist. Therefore know that the myriad phenomena originally arise from human beings, and all scriptures are spoken into existence because of human beings. Because among human beings there are the foolish and the wise, the foolish are the small and the wise are the great. When deluded people ask the wise, the wise explain the Dharma for the foolish, causing the foolish to awaken, understand, and open their minds. If deluded people awaken, understand, and open their minds, they are no different from people of great wisdom. Therefore know that without awakening, the Buddha is a sentient being; if with one thought one awakens, then a sentient being is the Buddha. Therefore know that all myriad phenomena are entirely within one's own mind; why not from your own mind suddenly see the original nature of tathatā? The Brahma Net Bodhisattva Precepts Sūtra says: 'The original source of the own-nature is pure.' Recognizing the mind and seeing the nature, one naturally accomplishes the Buddha path. The Vimalakīrti Sūtra says: 'Instantly, with open clarity, one recovers the original mind.'
