大乘起信論略述 1.70

1.70

[Treatise:] "That is to say, the true mind […] reveals that it is non-empty." [Commentary:] This directly clarifies the non-empty. "That is to say, the true mind": where it is empty and free from delusion, that is precisely the true mind. This collectively presents the true mind which is non-empty. As the greatness of its essence does not arise, it is eternal; as it does not stir, it is perpetual; as it is changeless, it is devoid of thought; and pure dharmas are fully complete [within it]. Although the inborn virtues are numerous, four are briefly cited here. That is to say, the greatness of attributes of the non-empty true mind possesses this essence and these attributes; hence it is named "non-empty."
