注大乘入楞伽經 6.240

6.240

上總破不應立宗。此語菩薩應說一切法，體同幻夢、性離有無也。如幻夢現故，生不成生也；幻夢不現故，不生不成不生也。成上不因立宗，不得說生不生也，故云如幻如夢、見不見故。然一切法，皆是惑亂妄想相故，若說生不生，愚癡凡夫多墮有無，而生怖畏；若言如幻如夢，二情自遣。結會前說有真實自性，離有離無，應如是悟入即契大乘。

Above, it generally refuted establishing a thesis. Here it tells the bodhisattva that one should explain that all phenomena have an essence like an illusion or a dream, their nature free from existence and non-existence. Because they appear like an illusion or dream, arising does not constitute arising; because an illusion or dream does not appear, non-arising does not constitute non-arising. This fulfills the point above that without establishing a thesis, one must not speak of arising or non-arising; hence it says 'like an illusion, like a dream, because they are seen and not seen.' However, because all phenomena are marks of delusive parikalpa, if one speaks of arising and non-arising, foolish ordinary beings will mostly fall into existence and non-existence, giving rise to fear; if one says they are like an illusion or like a dream, the two sentiments are naturally dispelled. This brings together the preceding statement that there is a real intrinsic nature, free from existence and free from non-existence; if one awakens and enters in this way, one accords with the Mahāyāna.
