The Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra says: "Leaving far behind the mind and consciousness, / Also leaving behind the five dharmas, / And further leaving behind intrinsic nature (svabhāva)— / This is the Buddha's lineage (gotra). / Because of relying on the fundamental consciousness, / The various consciousnesses arise. / Because of relying on the internal consciousness, / There appears a resemblance of external reflections. / The ignorant constantly discriminate / The conditioned and the unconditioned. / […] / Apart from the substance there is also no reflection. / If the storehouse consciousness (ālaya-vijñāna) is purified, / The waves of the consciousnesses do not arise. / Depending on the dharmakāya there is the retribution [body], / And pure discriminations arise. / If one does not realize selflessness / And relies on teachings rather than the meaning, / Seeking a self within principle and teachings, / That is a false defilement and evil view. / Because they do not understand, they speak of existence; / It is solely false grasping with nothing remaining. / Departed from the noble teachings and the correct principle, / Wishing to extinguish delusion, it increases instead. / These are the wild words of tīrthikas; / The wise should not speak them. / Teachings are revealed by means of principle; / One should rely on these teachings and principle, / Without any further discrimination."
