如來藏 [py] ru2lai2 zang4 [wg] ju-lai-tsang [ko] yôraejang [ja] ニョライゾウ nyoraizou ||| (tathaagatagarbha). (1) The 'womb of the tathaagata,' The 'matrix of the thus come one(s).' As an embryo that should become a Buddha, or as that 'womb' where the Buddha-to-be is carried. In either case, it does not refer simply to "mind", rather it is an expression that refers to sentient beings as the full embodiment of the Buddha's capability for existence. At the same time, compositionally, it is in the condition of being temporarily defiled by non-inherent forces, thus it cannot be called "Buddha." Therefore the term refers to the capability for becoming a tathaagata that is present in the minds of worldlings. The cause of tathaagatahood existing within sentient beings. Thought to be the origin of the manifestation of all aspects of existence. (2) There are three meanings of the term 'matrix of the thus-come-one': (a) the meaning that the absolute body of the tathaagata (dharma-kaaya) is existent within all living creatures; (b) the meaning that the tathaagata as reality-nature (true thusness) is a whole without distinctions; (c) the meaning that the tathaagata exists within every living creature in a seed, or embryonic form. (3) The origin of the manifestation of Buddhahood. (4) The essence of enlightenment that is originally present within the minds of all sentient beings. The tathaagata existent within the minds of people: The "tathaagata has the mind of sentient beings as matrix, the mind of sentient beings has the tathaagata as matrix, the mind of sentient beings has the multifarious virtues of the tathaagata as matrix. In addition to these three kinds of interpretation the tathaagata is called the 'mind of clear and pure reflection,' or The 'reality-body in the condition of confusion" (Dasheng qixin lun 起信論 , T 1666.32.576b). (5) The general understanding of thee matrix of the thus-come-one' in Chinese Buddhism is that of the tathaagata in the condition of being obscured by defilement. The Buddha hidden within us. (6) Despite the fact that the matrix of the thus-come-one is obscured in defilement, when the expression of its form is referred to, it is called the 'reality-body' (法身). [Credit] acm(entry) cw(py)
