一切众生，实本真净，
因彼妄见，有妄习生；
因此分开，内分外分。
释迦牟尼佛
《楞严经》
All sentient beings are really fundamentally true and pure, because of their false views, having false habits arising, because of these, separating into those of internal parts [i.e. of mind and matter inside] and external parts [i.e. of phenomena outside].
Śākyamuni Buddha
(Śūraṅgama Śūtra)
