(Shurangama Sutra, Volume 2 --26)

The Buddha told Ánanda, "Now I have instructed you with such expedients in order to tell you the truth, yet you do not awaken to it but mistake what I describe for spontaneity. Ánanda, If it definitely were spontaneous, you should be able to distinguish the substance of the spontaneity. Now you investigate the wonderful bright seeing.  What is its spontaneous aspect?  Is the bright light its spontaneous aspect?  Is darkness its spontaneous aspect?  Is emptiness its spontaneous aspect?  Are solid objects its spontaneous aspect? Ánanda, if its spontaneous aspect consisted of light, you should not see darkness.  Or, if its spontaneous aspect were emptiness, you should not see solid objects.  Continuing in the same way, if its spontaneous aspect were all dark appearances, then, when confronted with light, the seeing-nature should be cut off and extinguished, so how could you see light?"

(楞嚴經卷第二之26)

佛告阿難。我今如是開示方便。真實告汝。汝猶未悟。惑為自然。阿難。若必自然。自須甄明有自然體。汝且觀此妙明見中。以何為自。此見為復以明為自。以暗為自。以空為自。以塞為自。阿難。若明為自。應不見暗。若復以空為自體者。應不見塞。如是乃至諸暗等相以為自者。則於明時。見性斷滅。云何見明。
