注大乘入楞伽經 8.13

8.13

From here onward, the Tathāgata directly refutes their assertion. It means that visibly observed impermanence of an entity and the produced dharmas have no different substance; hence it says there is no distinction between producer and produced. Since they say, 'this is the impermanence of the entity, this is the produced dharma,' and because there is no distinction, the producer and produced should both be permanent. Why is this? Because one does not see the impermanence of an entity acting as a cause that can destroy produced dharmas and bring them to non-existence.
