4.116

又不住等者。此縱難也。設使因成無住,此亦非理,故次云因果不類故。夫為因果必須相類,有即俱有、空即俱空,染淨皆爾。既若色相是果,云何以無住為因,則因空果有理恐不然。今將果驗因,因合有住,佛說無住是誑我耶?

Regarding "moreover, not abiding, etc.": this is a concessive objection. Even if the cause were accomplished through non-abiding, this too would be unreasonable; hence it states next: 'because cause and fruit are not of the same kind.' A cause and its fruit must be of the same kind: if existent, both are existent; if empty, both are empty; defiled and pure are both like this. Since the marks of physical form are the fruit, how could non-abiding be the cause? A cause that is empty and a fruit that is existent would hardly be reasonable. Now, examining the cause by the fruit, the cause ought to have abiding; when the Buddha speaks of non-abiding, is he deceiving me?
