「以因緣故諸法生」者,歎說法緣起之用也。緣起有二已如前說,今之歎意備含此二。然體非有無,豈得有生?有因緣故亦得說者,順界內無明因緣則二苦集生,因滅無明即二道滅生,界外准說。故言有因緣故諸法生也。
"Through causes and conditions all phenomena arise": this praises the function of the expounding of the Dharma as dependent origination. There are two kinds of dependent origination, as explained previously; the present intention of praise fully contains both of these. Now, its essence is neither existent nor non-existent—how could there be arising? That it can also be spoken of because there are causes and conditions is because conforming to the causes and conditions of ignorance within the realms brings about the arising of the two kinds of suffering and accumulation, while extinguishing ignorance through causes brings about the arising of the two kinds of the path and cessation; outside the realms it is to be understood accordingly. Therefore it says that through causes and conditions all phenomena arise.
