說無垢稱經疏 4.112

4.112

贊曰：下難現在。初難、後證此難也。現在法中，本無今有，有位名生、生位暫停假名為住，住別前後假立異名，此後無時假名為滅。現在諸法無暫實住，亦無相續經停久住，故言現在而無有住，非無假住。若有實住可能為因，能得當來，可依授記。現無實住可能為因，依何為記？

The commentary says: The following challenges the present. First it poses the challenge, and later it provides proof for this challenge. Among present phenomena, that which originally did not exist now exists, and this state of existence is called 'arising'; a momentary pause in the state of arising is conventionally called 'abiding'; the difference between before and after abiding is conventionally posited with the name 'decay'; and when it ceases to exist after this, it is conventionally called 'cessation'. Present phenomena do not possess even a momentary real abiding, nor do they abide continuously over time; therefore it is said that the present has no abiding, though not that it lacks conventional abiding. If there were real abiding, it could serve as a cause and could attain what is to come, and one could receive a prophecy based on it. Since the present has no real abiding that could serve as a cause, based on what could a prophecy be given?
