"This teaching propounds that all sentient beings without exception have the empty, tranquil True Mind. From time without beginning it is the intrinsically pure, effulgent, unobscured, clear and bright ever-present Awareness. It will abide forever and never perish on into the infinite future. It is named Buddha-nature; it is also named Tathagatagarbha and Mind-Ground."
