四、生佛家者,佛以真如法界無生之理為家,今見塵無生無性時,即此智從無生法顯生,故名生佛家也。經云「於法不分別,是則從如生。」又云「普於三世佛法中,知無生已而化生。」但契義理,即名生佛家,是佛之子,亦名佛出現也(有本云無生之理,菩提涅槃為家)。

Fourth, being born in the Buddha's family: the Buddha takes the unarisen principle of the tathatā-dharmadhātu as his home. Now, when one sees that the dust mote is unarisen and lacks intrinsic nature, this very wisdom is manifest and born from unarisen phenomena; therefore it is called being born in the Buddha's family. The sūtra says: "Not conceptualizing phenomena, / one is thus born from suchness." It also says: "Universally among the Buddhadharmas of the three times, / having known non-arising, one is transformatively born." Simply conforming to the meaning and principle is called being born in the Buddha's family; one is a child of the Buddha, which is also called the appearance of the Buddha (one edition says: taking the unarisen principle, bodhi and nirvāṇa as home).
