今觀覺性本是無生,離諸虛妄,有似不同楞伽所說,與彼外道自然執見如何分辨?此不知如來隨宜說法,在楞伽時,為破外道不了業種熏習,感外增上,遂即妄計烏自然黑、鶴自然白等,故佛說有因緣,約世間相緣起道理。今此直明一真法性,豈同因緣隨他意語耶?
Now observing that the nature of enlightenment is fundamentally unarisen and free from all falsehood, it seems different from what was taught in the *Laṅkāvatāra*; how are we to distinguish it from the heterodox attachment to the view of spontaneity? This fails to recognize that the Tathāgata expounds the Dharma in accordance with what is appropriate. When at Laṅkā, in order to refute the heterodox practitioners' failure to understand the perfuming of karmic seeds and their induction of external predominant conditions—whereby they deludedly conceptualized that crows are naturally black and cranes are naturally white—the Buddha taught that there are causes and conditions, relying on the principle of dependent origination of worldly characteristics. Now, here he directly clarifies the one true dharma-nature; how could it be the same as causes and conditions spoken in accordance with the minds of others?
