### [4.116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.4.116)

言諸佛出世，凡演說法，離四句、絕百非，建立誹謗，凡情聖量所不能及。大機未遇，皆以四諦十二因緣，證滅修道、解脫生死而為濫觴之首，不與諸外道勝性自然而共其相。雖初說小乘之因緣，已勝外道之玄妙。

> This means that whenever the Buddhas appear in the world and expound the Dharma, it is free from the four propositions and cuts off the hundred negations, transcending affirmation and denial, beyond the reach of ordinary sentiments and noble cognition. When the great capacity has not yet been encountered, they always take the four noble truths and the twelve links of dependent origination—realizing cessation, cultivating the path, and being liberated from saṃsāra—as the very first beginning, never sharing characteristics with the primordial nature (pradhāna) or spontaneity (svabhāva) of non-Buddhists. Even though they initially speak of the dependent origination of the Hīnayāna, it already surpasses the abstruse subtleties of the non-Buddhists.
