'''The nonconceptual nature of the mind''' of ordinary beings, noble ones, and perfect buddhas is their '''general characteristic'''. Therefore, it penetrates, enters, is the same as, is not different from, and is always present in these three phases of '''flaws, qualities, and''' the '''perfection''' of the purity of these qualities, {D97a} '''just as space''' [pervades] earthen, silver, and golden vessels [alike]. Therefore, immediately after the instruction on the three phases, that same [sūtra] says: | |||
<blockquote>Therefore, Śāriputra, the basic element of sentient beings is not other and the dharmakāya is not other. {P100b} Nothing but the basic element of sentient beings is the dharmakāya, and nothing but the dharmakāya is the basic element of sentient beings. In terms of their meaning, they are not two. They are different in letter only.<ref>Ibid., 467b.</ref></blockquote> | |||
