金剛三昧經云。佛言。如是眾生之心。實無別境。何以故。心本淨故。理無穢故。以染塵故。名為三界。三界之心。名為別境。是境虛妄。從心化生。心若無妄。即無別境。大力菩薩言。心若在淨。諸境不生。此心淨時。應無三界。佛言。如是。菩薩心不生境。境不生心。何以故。所見諸境。唯所見心。心不幻化。則無所見。

> The Vajrasamādhisūtra states: “The Buddha said: ‘Thus the citta of sentient beings has no separate object. Why is this? Because the citta is fundamentally pure, and the principle is free from defilement. Due to contamination by dust, it is called the three realms; the citta of the three realms is termed a “separate object.” Such objects are false and illusory, manifested from the citta. If the citta is free of illusion, then there is no separate object.’ Bodhisattva Mahābala said: ‘If the citta abides in purity, the various objects do not arise; when this citta is pure, there should be no three realms.’ The Buddha said: ‘So it is. Bodhisattvas do not produce objects from citta, nor do objects produce the citta. Why is this? The various objects seen are merely the citta seen. When the citta does not engage in illusory transformation, then there is nothing seen.’”
