7.183

因上佛言為愚夫故,不得直說真實不生不滅義,猶如嬰兒不應食生。故復問言:如來所說不生不滅非有奇特。何以故?一切外道亦說作者不生不滅,與佛世尊說三無為法不生不滅,無有異也。

Because the Buddha said above that for the sake of foolish people one cannot directly speak the real meaning of non-arising and non-cessation—just as an infant should not eat raw food—[Mahāmati] asks again: "What the Tathāgata calls non-arising and non-cessation is nothing special. Why? All non-Buddhists also say that a creator is non-arising and non-ceasing, which is no different from the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, saying that the three unconditioned phenomena are non-arising and non-ceasing."
