“Oh, good man! About the absolute, there are two types. One is the absolute in adornment, and the other is the ultimate absolute. One is the absolute in the secular sense, and the other is the absolute in the transcendent sense. By the absolute in adornment is meant the six paramitas; the ultimate of the absolute is the One Vehicle which beings gain. The One Vehicle is the Buddha Nature. This is why I say that all beings possess the Buddha Nature. All beings possess the One Vehicle. As ignorance obstructs them, they can not see. Oh, good man! In Uttarakuru, the fruition of Trayastrimsa Heaven can not be seen by beings because there is [this] blinding [of ignorance]. It's the same regarding the Buddha Nature. Beings can not see it because of the blinding of defilement.”
Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 33, on the Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 1.
