如來藏 (tathāgatagarbha). The 'womb of the tathāgata'。
tathāgata-garbha, the Tathāgata womb or store, defined as (1) the 眞如 zhenru, q. v. in the midst of 煩惱 the delusion of passions and desires; (2) sutras of the Buddha's uttering. The first especially refers to the zhenru as the source of all things: whether compatibles or incompatibles, whether forces of purity or impurity, good or bad, all created things are in the Tathāgatagarbha, which is the womb that gives birth to them all. The second is the storehouse of the Buddha's teaching.
真如在煩惱中,攝藏如來一切果地上的功德,名如來藏,若出了煩惱,即名法身。
收藏如來教說的寶箱;指佛經。
藏即含藏也。謂真如法性之體,不離一切眾生色心,具足圓滿染淨諸法,是名如來藏。
