佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經 1.37

1.37

佛告大王：「汝先言：『云何眾生相可化？』若以幻化身見幻化者，是菩薩真行化眾生。眾生識初一念識異木石，生得善、生得惡，惡為無量惡識本，善為無量善識本。初一念金剛終一念，於中生不可說不可說識，成眾生色心是眾生根本。色名色蓋，心名識蓋、想蓋、受蓋、行蓋。蓋者陰覆為用，身名積聚。

The Buddha addressed the great king: "You previously said: 'How can the characteristics of sentient beings be transformed?' If one sees what is illusory and transformed with an illusory and transformed body, this is the bodhisattva's true practice of transforming sentient beings. The consciousness of sentient beings, in its very first thought of consciousness, is different from wood and stone; it is born with innate good and born with innate evil. Evil is the root of immeasurable evil consciousnesses, and good is the root of immeasurable good consciousnesses. From the first thought to the final vajra-like thought, incalculable and unspeakable consciousnesses are born within them, constituting the form and mind of sentient beings, which are the root of sentient beings. Form is called the hindrance of form; mind is called the hindrance of consciousness, the hindrance of perception, the hindrance of feeling, and the hindrance of mental formations. The function of a hindrance is to shroud and cover; 'body' means an accumulation.
