3.165

論曰：此下遣彼〈如來藏品〉第三之疑。如彼品頌末言「轉所取能取入於如來藏」，有依此說而疑彼云：此中菩提之道平等之諦即是如來藏，不待因緣力，云何彼轉能所之因而能得入如來藏法？有作是疑，故乘彼問。即無因緣者，由平等故不從因緣，又平等故即無餘緣，餘緣無故因不能起，云何於彼無起動法，而用因緣得入如來？若用因力之所入者，即待因緣，非不動故。

The commentary says: Below, the third doubt from the 'Chapter on the Tathāgatagarbha' is dispelled. As the end of the verse in that chapter says, 'transforming grasped and grasper, one enters into the tathāgatagarbha,' there was one who, relying on that exposition, doubted it, saying: 'The path of bodhi and the truth of equality herein is precisely the tathāgatagarbha, which does not depend on the power of causes and conditions. How could the causes of transforming grasper and grasped be able to enter the dharma of the tathāgatagarbha?' There was one who raised this doubt, hence taking occasion from it he posed this question.\n'Is without causes and conditions' means: because of equality it does not derive from causes and conditions; furthermore, because of equality there are no further conditions; and because there are no further conditions, causes cannot arise. How, regarding that dharma without activation, could one use causes and conditions to enter the Tathāgata? If it is entered by using the power of causes, then it would depend on causes and conditions, and would not be unmoving.
