楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 4.23

4.23

爾時，大慧菩薩復白佛言：「世尊！如世尊說『修多羅攝受不生不滅。』又世尊說『不生不滅是如來異名。』云何世尊為無性故說不生不滅，為是如來異名？」佛告大慧：「我說一切法不生不滅，有無品不現。」大慧白佛言：「世尊！若一切法不生者，則攝受法不可得，一切法不生故。若名字中有法者，惟願為說。」佛告大慧：「善哉！善哉！諦聽！諦聽！善思念之，吾當為汝分別解說。」大慧白佛言：「唯然受教。」佛告大慧：「我說如來非無性，亦非不生不滅攝一切法，亦不待緣故不生不滅，亦非無義。」

Then the Bodhisattva Mahāmati again addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One! As the World-Honoured One said, 'The sūtras embrace neither arising nor cessation.' And the World-Honoured One said, 'Neither arising nor cessation is an alternative name for the Tathāgata.' Why does the World-Honoured One speak of neither arising nor cessation because of naturelessness, or is it an alternative name for the Tathāgata?" The Buddha told Mahāmati: "I say that all dharmas neither arise nor cease, and the category of existence and nonexistence does not manifest." Mahāmati addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honoured One! If all dharmas do not arise, then embracing dharmas is unobtainable, because all dharmas do not arise. If there is a dharma within names, I pray you explain it for me." The Buddha told Mahāmati: "Excellent, excellent! Listen attentively! Listen attentively and ponder it well; I shall explain and analyze it for you." Mahāmati addressed the Buddha, saying: "Yes, indeed; I receive your instruction." The Buddha told Mahāmati: "I say that the Tathāgata is not natureless, nor does neither arising nor cessation embrace all dharmas, nor is it dependent on conditions that it neither arises nor ceases, nor is it meaningless."
