大般涅槃經義記 9.115

9.115

上來別論，「如我上說種種法」下，總以結之，明前諸法當得名有。十二因緣是眾生體，云何說言當得名有？證會在當故名當得，非體在當。

The above discusses them individually. From "just as the various dharmas spoken of by me above" below, it concludes them collectively, explaining that the preceding dharmas are called "existent" in the sense of being attained in the future. The twelve links of dependent origination are the essence of sentient beings; how then can it be said that they are called "existent" in the sense of being attained in the future? Because the realization lies in the future, it is called "to be attained in the future"; it does not mean that the essence itself lies in the future.
