如来藏自性清静，具三十二相，在于一切众生身中，为贪嗔痴不实垢染阴界入衣之所缠裹，如无价宝，垢衣所缠。

　　《入楞伽经》卷 3

　　The Tathagatagarbha, inherently pure and possessed of the thirty-two magnificent major features, stays in the body of each sentient being; just like an invaluable jewel bound by dirty clothes, it has been tied up with the tainted apparel fabricated with aggregate-realm-entrance, and defiled by those illusory thoughts such as greed, anger and ignorance.

　　The Lankavatara Sutra, Vol.

　　----------------------------

　　十八界虚妄，是缘生法；也已经说明三界法都应该灭尽，才能出离三界生死。然而三界生死都是要先从最粗糙、最粗重的我见开始断除，接著是断除欲界贪爱，然后断除色界境界的贪爱，然后断除对于无色界有的贪爱（断除四空定中的觉知心自我贪爱），才能出离三界生死。

　　《阿含正义》第五辑

　　The eighteen-divisions of sense are illusionary and conditioned dharmas. It has also been explained that all dharmas of three-realms must be annihilated, and then we will be able to stay away from the life and death in the three-realms. In order to achieve this goal, one always starts from the elimination of self-view which is the coarsest and heaviest part of　three-realms dharmas. Followed by the elimination of the greed for the

　　desire-realm, then the elimination of the greed for the state of the form-realm, and finally the elimination of the greed for the being in the formless-realm (the elimination of the self-greed of the perceptive mind in four formless samadhis), one is able to depart from the life and death in the three-realms.
