2.179

問:若然者,何故下因熏習中即現一切世間法耶?答:彼約依他似法,是此真心隨熏所作,無自體故,不異真如,故彼文云「以一切法即真實性故」也。今此約遍計所執實法故,無可現也。

Question: If so, why is it that below, in the [mirror of] perfuming as cause, all worldly phenomena precisely appear? Answer: That is spoken with regard to dependent, resembling phenomena, which are produced by this true mind in accord with perfuming; because they lack an own-substance, they are not different from tathatā. Therefore, that text says: 'because all phenomena are precisely the true nature.' Here, it is spoken with regard to the substantially existent phenomena clung to through pervasive conceptualization; therefore, there is nothing that can be manifested.
