注大乘入楞伽經 4.43

4.43

Formerly, the Buddha expediently stated that all phenomena arise from causes and conditions in order to refute the non-Buddhists' notions of nature (svabhāva), causelessness, and erroneous causes. Furthermore, he spoke of conditioned arising as being without self to refute the non-Buddhists' clinging to an ātman. As a verse below states: 'To ward off a creator, I spoke of the conjunction of causes and conditions. To ward off the fault of permanence, I spoke of conditions as impermanent.' Now, in this assembly, causing them to renounce the provisional vehicle and realize that everything is merely the manifestation of the mind, he concludes by refuting this, stating that one should be free from views of sudden or gradual arising within the marks of the conjunction of causes and conditions.
