楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 2.297

2.297

前聖所知，即自證聖智行相及一乘行相，謂過去諸佛無不從此二種行門成等正覺，以其遞相傳授，政所謂佛佛授受、祖祖承承者也。此乃總答前請。妄想無性下，別答自覺聖智行相。諸法本來寂滅，凡愚不覺生妄，分別而說，妄法本無自性。然欲進修妙行，必於靜處以自觀察，觀之不已，則諸妄想不離而離，漸歷諸地入於如來境界，所謂自覺聖智自然究竟矣。

“What was known by former sages” refers to the behavioral characteristics of self-realized noble wisdom and the behavioral characteristics of the One Vehicle, meaning that past buddhas all accomplished equal and perfect awakening through these two portals of practice. Because they have been handed down successively from one to another, this is precisely what is called “the transmission from buddha to buddha and the succession from patriarch to patriarch.” This is a general answer to the previous request. From “vikalpa has no nature” downward, it specifically answers the behavioral characteristics of pratyātmāryajñāna. All dharmas are originally quiescent and extinguished; the ordinary and foolish, lacking awakening, give rise to falsehood and speak with discrimination, but false dharmas originally have no svabhāva. However, if one wishes to cultivate wondrous practice, one must observe for oneself in a quiet place. If one observes without ceasing, then all vikalpas are departed from without departing, and one gradually passes through the stages to enter the realm of the Tathāgata; what is called pratyātmāryajñāna becomes naturally fulfilled.
