Note on the transliteration:

The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).

Important:

We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

Chi: 佛陀跋陀, T.666 458a25-b1

有天眼者語衆人言。此不淨中有眞金寶。汝等出之隨意受用。如是善男子。不淨處者無量煩惱是。眞金寶者如來藏是。有天眼者謂如來是。是故如來廣爲説法。令諸衆生除滅煩惱。悉成正覺施作佛事。

Chi: 不空, T.667 462b28-c8

善男子有天眼者。見彼金磚在於臭穢。告餘人言丈夫汝往。於彼糞穢之中有金勝寶。其人聞已則便取之。得已淨洗隨金所用。善男子臭穢積聚者。是名種種煩惱及隨煩惱。彼金磚者是名不壞法。有天眼者則是如來應正遍知。善男子。一切有情如來法性眞實勝寶。沒於煩惱臭穢之中。是故如來應正等覺。爲於有情除諸煩惱臭穢不淨。而説妙法當令成佛。出現世間而作佛事。

Eng: Zimmermann (2002)

“Sons of good family, [if] then a divinity with divine vision looked at that round gold nugget, [the divinity] would direct a person:
‘O man, go and clean that gold of excellent value [t]here, [which is only externally] covered with all sorts (-jāta) of decaying substances and filth, and use the gold [in the way] gold is to be used!’
In [this simile], sons of good family, [what] is called ‘all sorts of decaying substances and filth’ is a designation for the different kinds of defilements. [What] is called ‘gold nugget’ is a designation for [what] is not subject to perishability (avināśadharmin) [, i.e., the true nature of living beings]. [What] is called ‘divinity [with] divine vision’ is a designation for the Tathāgata, the Honorable One and Perfectly Awakened One.
Sons of good family, in the same way also the Tathāgata, the Honorable One and Perfectly Awakened One, teaches the Dharma to sentient beings in order to remove the defilements—[which are like] all sorts of decaying substances and mud—[from] the imperishable true nature (dharmatā) of a tathāgata found in all sentient beings.”
