注大乘入楞伽經 4.180

4.180

言如來說十二緣中無明無因，非是有因。又說無明有故行有，行有故識有，非漸次相待，其義不成。復難如來說緣起不如外道，故言外道說勝，非同如來。

This means that when the Tathāgata speaks of ignorance among the twelve links, it is without a cause, not possessing a cause. Furthermore, he says that because ignorance exists, volitional formations exist, and because volitional formations exist, consciousness exists; these are not gradual and mutually dependent, so the meaning is not established. He further challenges that the Tathāgata's exposition of conditioned arising is inferior to that of the non-Buddhists; hence he says the non-Buddhist assertion is superior, unlike the Tathāgata's.
