祖示眾云、汝等諸人、各信自心是佛、此心即佛。達磨大師、從南 天竺國來至中華、傳上乘一心之法、令汝等開悟。又引楞伽經、以 印眾生心地、恐汝顛倒不信。此一心之法、各各有之。故楞伽經、 以佛語心為宗、無門為法門。
When preaching to the congregation, Mazu told them: "Each one of you, you should believe that your own mind is the Buddha, that this mind is identical with the Buddha. The great master Bodhidharma came from India to China, and transmitted the One Mind teaching of the supreme vehicle, in order to cause you to realize awakening. He also quoted the Laṅkāvatāra Scripture, in order to imprint the minds of living beings, fearing that they are perturbed and lack faith themselves. The truth of this One Mind is something that each and every one of you possesses.
Therefore, according to the Laṅkāvatāra Scripture, the Buddha’s teaching asserts that the mind is the essential principle, and that the lack of a particular point of entry is the (very essence) of the (true) teaching."
