注大乘入楞伽經 4.116

4.116

This means that whenever the Buddhas appear in the world and expound the Dharma, it is free from the four propositions and cuts off the hundred negations, transcending affirmation and denial, beyond the reach of ordinary sentiments and noble cognition. When the great capacity has not yet been encountered, they always take the four noble truths and the twelve links of dependent origination—realizing cessation, cultivating the path, and being liberated from saṃsāra—as the very first beginning, never sharing characteristics with the primordial nature (pradhāna) or spontaneity (svabhāva) of non-Buddhists. Even though they initially speak of the dependent origination of the Hīnayāna, it already surpasses the abstruse subtleties of the non-Buddhists.
