大乘起信論略述 2.108

2.108

論。云何對治至相應故　述曰。下顯對治。於中有二。初順遣情疑。後返破愚執。此初也。以如來藏從本等者。此明淨德妙有。過恒沙等煩惱等者。此明妄染理無。從無始世來等者。此顯妄不入真。故如來藏不相應也。

[Treatise:] "How is this countered? [Because the Tathāgata-garbha from the beginning has only pure virtues...]" [Commentary:] Below, the antidote is revealed. Within this there are two: first, following along to eliminate doubts and attachments; second, turning back to shatter the foolish attachment. This is the first. "Because the Tathāgata-garbha from the beginning...": this clarifies the wondrous existence of pure virtues. "Defilements exceeding the sands of the Ganges...": this clarifies that deluded defilements are fundamentally non-existent in principle. "From beginningless time...": this reveals that delusion does not enter reality, and thus the Tathāgata-garbha is not in concordance [with defilement].
