1.161

且夫阿含至教等者。謂阿含經擯斥我相但留於法相不亡。故知實有有無為法。般若經說一切有為真如涅槃皆如幻化。則有無為一切皆空。花嚴經說三界唯心。地論釋云第一義心。明知許有法性真體。涅槃經說大般涅槃常樂我淨四德無為。故知許有真實我相。

Regarding 'Furthermore, as for the supreme teachings of the Āgamas,' etc.: This means that the Āgama sūtras banish the mark of self and only preserve the marks of dharmas without extinguishing them; thus one knows that conditioned and unconditioned dharmas genuinely exist. The Prajñā sūtras state that all conditioned things, tathatā, and nirvāṇa are all like an illusion; thus conditioned and unconditioned are all empty. The Avataṃsaka-sūtra states that the three realms are mind-only, and the Commentary on the Daśabhūmika explains it as the mind of ultimate truth; this clearly shows that it accepts the true substance of dharma-nature as existent. The Nirvāṇa-sūtra states that the great parinirvāṇa is unconditioned with the four virtues of permanence, bliss, self, and purity; thus one knows that it accepts the genuine mark of self.
