3.52
舉喻以明緣起不實。如幻師依草木起眾生色像。譬如來藏性,隨緣起種種諸法,故《肇論》云「萬法假立不真,譬如幻化人。非無幻化人,幻化人非真人也。」皆明緣起不實故。
He presents a metaphor to clarify that dependent origination is not real. Just as a magician relies on grass and wood to produce the forms and appearances of sentient beings. This is a metaphor for the nature of the tathāgatagarbha: following conditions, it gives rise to diverse dharmas. Therefore the Treatise of Sengzhao says: 'The ten thousand dharmas are provisionally established and not real, just like illusory, transformed humans. It is not that there are no illusory, transformed humans, but illusory, transformed humans are not real humans.' All these clarify that dependent origination is not real.
