4.494

贊曰:三設難也。若由因緣假合之法能修說者,諸凡夫人皆因假成,悉應得菩提。此意若有實能修之者,可有得不得;既皆假有,凡亦應得。如維摩詰以真如門令一切皆得記,此以因緣門難應皆作佛。

Commentary: The third part poses an objection. If one is able to cultivate and expound by means of dharmas that are conventionally combined through causes and conditions, then since ordinary persons are all established through conventional combinations, all should attain awakening. The idea here is: if there were a real cultivator, there could be attainment and non-attainment; since all are conventionally existent, ordinary persons should also attain it. Just as Vimalakīrti used the approach of tathatā to cause all to receive prediction, here using the approach of causes and conditions he objects that all should become buddhas.
