When it receives the name of this consciousness, it is united without being joined, fulfilling the meaning of ‘storehouse’. This ālayavijñāna is none other than the true mind not abiding by its self-nature, following tainted and pure conditions, united without being joined, capable of storing all real and conventional realms; therefore it is called the storehouse consciousness. It is like a clear mirror that does not unite with the reflected images, yet contains the reflected images. This is spoken from the perspective of possessing the meaning of conjunction. As for the meaning of non-conjunction, its substance is constantly unchanging, and therefore it is called tathatā. Because of conjunction and non-conjunction, its two aspects are distinguished; originally there is only the one true mind, tranquil and unmoving. If someone does not believe that the ālayavijñāna is none other than the tathāgatagarbha and seeks the principle of tathatā elsewhere, it is like seeking a mirror apart from the images, which is bad discernment. Because they have not understood the principle of ‘unchanging yet according with conditions, according with conditions yet unchanging,’ they give rise to the two graspings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 47.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.47.14) - [Next: 47.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.47.16) - [Up: 47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.47) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.47.15) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.47.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.47.15) · Pramāṇa
