大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 14.7

14.7

Regarding the commentary’s section beginning with "However, regarding no cause and false cause": the third part concludes the faults of both together. When it says "if generated, they should be constantly generated," it means that if humans are born naturally, they should be born constantly, without depending on parents and the like. If sentient beings' bodhi is also born naturally, then all karmic retributions would not be obtained through practice. This is precisely the fault of [positing] no cause. If one takes vacuous non-being as the cause, that is also the fault of [positing] a false cause. Differing according to each doctrine, they are omitted and not discussed here. The above extensive refutation of heterodox doctrines is concluded.
