大般涅槃經集解 66.50

66.50

案僧亮曰：從學至無學，相續有二說，佛性果亦如是者，亦三世攝也。僧亮曰：若未得無上道果時，故是緣因佛性，悉三世攝。果則不然者，謂佛果性也。有三世者，十住以還。緣因性有非者，佛果佛性也。後身菩薩佛性因故，亦三世攝。果亦如是者，此是十住以還緣因性，前念為因、後念為果，亦三世攝也。

Sengliang states: "From trainee to non-trainee, there are two explanations of continuity; that 'the fruit of the buddhadhātu is also like this' means it is also subsumed under the three times." Sengliang states: "When one has not yet attained the fruit of the unexcelled path, it is still the buddhadhātu of contributory causes, all subsumed under the three times. That 'the fruit is not so' refers to the nature of the Buddha-fruit. Those possessing the three times are from the ten abidings downward. That the nature of contributory causes has that which is not [of the three times] is the buddhadhātu of the Buddha-fruit. Because of the cause of the buddhadhātu of the bodhisattva in the final body, it is also subsumed under the three times. That 'the fruit is also like this' means that this is the nature of contributory causes from the ten abidings downward, where the preceding thought is the cause and the subsequent thought is the fruit, which is also subsumed under the three times."
