注大乘入楞伽經 7.189

7.189

於九物中，舉一大種結難如來以例餘也。言四大種亦不滅壞，周流七趣、自性常住、不生不滅。如來分別所說諸法，雖稍異之，其實無非外道已說，若有不同願說所以，如無別義，一切外道即是如來。世尊常說一世界中多佛出世者，無有是處；如向所說是則應有，以其所說與如來無異也。

Among the nine entities, [Mahāmati] raises the single [entity of the] great elements to formulate a challenge to the Tathāgata, by which the rest may be inferred. That is to say, the four great elements also do not perish; they circulate through the seven destinies, their intrinsic nature is permanent, and they are non-arising and non-ceasing. Although the various phenomena spoken by the Tathāgata through differentiation differ slightly, in reality they are none other than what non-Buddhists have already spoken. If there is a difference, we pray you explain the reason; if there is no different meaning, then all non-Buddhists are precisely Tathāgatas. The World-Honoured One constantly says that it is impossible for multiple Buddhas to appear in a single world; but according to what was just said, then there should be, because what they say is no different from the Tathāgata.
