注大乘入楞伽經 7.209

7.209

佛言應觀有為一切諸法，非有因生、非無因生，故說無生，以滅外道生滅戲論。問曰：現見諸法有生有滅，云何言無耶？答云：一切諸法緣起無性，故無生滅自體可得。生即無生、滅即無滅，如陽焰水本自乾爾。故《金剛三昧經》云「因緣所生義，是義滅非生，滅諸生滅義，是義生非滅。」如上九偈破外道計從邪因生，故說無生。

The Buddha says that one should observe all conditioned phenomena as neither arising from a cause nor arising without a cause; therefore he speaks of non-arising to extinguish the non-Buddhists' conceptual proliferation of arising and cessation. Question: "Presently we see that phenomena have arising and cessation; why do you say there is none?" Answer: "All phenomena arise dependently and lack intrinsic nature; therefore no intrinsic entity of arising and cessation can be apprehended. Arising is precisely non-arising, and cessation is precisely non-cessation, just as the water of a mirage is fundamentally dry of itself." Hence the Vajrasamādhi Sūtra says: "The meaning of what is produced by causes and conditions is that this meaning ceases and does not arise; ceasing all meanings of arising and cessation, this meaning arises and does not cease." The nine verses above refute the non-Buddhists' view of arising from erroneous causes; therefore he speaks of non-arising.
