Quotes from The Jewel-Heap Sutra, Vol. 58 

(Mahāratnakūṭa Sūtra)

 

“What are the seals [marks] of the predisposition-nature for buddhas? When an individual initially aspirates to bring forth the bodhi mind, he is regarded as one who shall [in the future] possess the bodhisattva precepts, enter the bodhisattva repository, obtain the dharani mind without distractions, never stray away from abandonment [to discard the illusory phenomena], realize the emptiness-nature, correctly cultivate the notion of signlessness with no desire, and keep his mind away from greed and taints. Furthermore, he can attain realization and enter the aggregates, elements, and sense fields. Whatever he performs will be aligned with his enlightenment, and he will gladly seek the Buddha wisdom. Thus, he will truly know the notion of non-arising nature with which to realize myriad dharmas based on its non-conceptual nature [non-arising nature], and will fully possess correct views, without illusory thoughts. These are the marks of the predisposition-nature for buddhas.”

《大寶積經》卷58

 

【「何等名為佛種性印?所謂最初發菩提心。從此即為具菩薩戒、入菩薩藏,得陀羅尼心無散亂,不離於捨、證入空性,正修無相無所願求,性離貪染;於蘊界處而能證入,所作隨覺樂求佛慧,於無生性,真實了知,證於諸法而無分別,具足正見、斷於妄念,是故名為佛種性印。」】
