注大乘入楞伽經 1.121

1.121

問：因緣所起，本自無生。若體不生，何有能生因及所作果？如下，一切法，因緣相中別答。

This asks: That which arises from causes and conditions is fundamentally without arising. If its essence does not arise, how can there be an efficient cause that produces and an effect that is produced? This is answered individually below, under the characteristics of causes and conditions of all phenomena.
