答。心是如來藏心真如之性。識是心之所生。無有一法。不從真心性起。故首楞嚴經云。諸法所生。唯心所現。心是本。即勝。識是依。即劣。如圓覺疏云。生法本無。一切唯識。識如幻夢。但是一心。

> Answer: Citta is the nature of tathatā of the tathāgatagarbha-citta. Consciousness is what is produced from citta. There is not a single dharma that does not arise from the nature of the true citta. Therefore, the Śūraṅgamasūtra states: 'Whatever dharmas are produced are only what is manifested by citta.' Citta is the root and is thus superior; consciousness is what is dependent and is thus inferior. As the Commentary on the Sutra of Perfect Enlightenment says: 'Produced dharmas are fundamentally non-existent; everything is consciousness-only. Consciousness is like an illusion or a dream; it is merely the one mind.'
