注大乘入楞伽經 8.85

8.85

以別義故亦得言常，謂以現前離念明智，證真常法故，亦得言常。此真常理，有佛無佛常住不變，遍一切法，非斷滅無，凡夫外道豈能覺知？故《法華》云「同共一法中，而不得此事。」

By another meaning, one may also call him permanent; that is, because he realizes the truly permanent Dharma through manifest, thought-free luminous wisdom, he may also be spoken of as permanent. This principle of true permanence, whether a Buddha exists or not, permanently abides without change, pervades all phenomena, and is not annihilated or nonexistent. How could ordinary persons or non-Buddhists perceive or know it? Therefore the Lotus Sūtra says: "Remaining together in the one Dharma, / yet they fail to obtain this matter."
