“Oh, good man! The Tathagata, when there is reason to talk so, says that non-Self is the Self. But, truth to say, there is no a Self [there]. Though I speak thus, there is nothing [here] that is false.
Oh, good man! On account of the causal relations, I establish the Self like (being) not-Self and, however, truth to tell, there is the Self. It constitutes the world. I establish [this] as non-Self. But, nothing is wrong. The Buddha Nature is non-Self. The Tathagata says Self. Because there is the quality of the Eternal. The Tathagata is the Self. However, he establishes [this] as non-Self. Because he has unmolestedness [ie, complete and unrestricted freedom]."
Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 33, on the Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 1.
