2.179

在此法者；依三種教計過未有：一、依十二處經，二、依過去業經，三、依三世五蘊經。依理起執中，外道小乘一處總釋。彼如是思乃至性相實有者，謂若未來先無現在方有者，是則未來先受色心等相，後有色心，若爾亦應，兔角先無，後時亦有，若過去無應失自相，如是自相，應不成熟，由此道理，執過去未來有。

Regarding "In this dharma": basing themselves on three kinds of scriptural teachings, they posit that the past and future exist: 1. Basing on the *Twelve Āyatanas Sūtra*; 2. Basing on the *Past Karma Sūtra*; 3. Basing on the *Three Times and Five Skandhas Sūtra*. In their adherence to this based on reason, non-Buddhists and Hīnayāna are explained together in one place. Regarding "They consider thus... up to... its nature and characteristics are substantially existent": that is, if the future did not exist originally and only existed in the present, then the future would first receive characteristics such as form and mind and only later have form and mind; if so, then the horns of a hare, which did not exist originally, would also exist at a later time. If the past did not exist, it should lose its own-characteristic, and such an own-characteristic should not come to fruition. By this reason, they adhere to past and future being existent.
