大乘起信論略述 2.85

[Treatise:] Furthermore, to reveal ... form and mind.
[Exposition:] Above, the meanings of the Dharma were revealed, individually explaining the gates of suchness and of arising and ceasing, which completed the demonstration of the meaning of non-identity. Next, the second [part]: setting the two gates against each other, integrating them into entry into emptiness to demonstrate the meaning of non-difference. In this there are three: indicating, explaining, and concluding. This is the first. Intending to reveal the meaning of integrating marks into entry into emptiness, it says: "To reveal the entry from the gate of arising and ceasing into the gate of suchness." How is it revealed? By investigating the form and mind of the five aggregates. The aggregate of form is called form; the four aggregates are called mind. Investigating these five aggregates, apart from the real they have no essence; therefore, from arising and ceasing one immediately enters the real.
