2.206

"Therefore, one should know that all afflictions are the lineage of the Tathāgata. For example, if one does not descend into the great ocean, one cannot obtain the priceless jewel. In this way, if one does not enter the great ocean of afflictions, one cannot obtain the jewel of all-knowledge." From here downward is the conclusion, with three visible parts in the text. If one awakens to the nature of afflictions, one attains bodhi wisdom, just as without leaving the great ocean one obtains the priceless jewel. Those of the two vehicles abandon afflictions to seek bodhi, like a person abandoning the great ocean to seek the priceless gem: how could it be obtained?
