第七釋迦牟尼佛偈云。幻化無因亦無生。皆即自然見如是。諸法無非自化生。幻化無生無所畏。復告摩訶迦葉。吾有清淨法眼。涅槃妙心。實相無相。微妙正法。付囑於汝。無令斷絕。聽吾偈曰。法本法無法。無法法亦法。今付無法時。法法何曾法。

The verse of the seventh Buddha, Śākyamuni, says:
“Illusory transformations are without cause and also without birth;
All are naturally seen as such.
Phenomena are none other than self-transformed births;
Illusory transformations are unborn, with nothing to fear.”
He further told Mahākāśyapa: “I possess the pure eye of the Dharma, the wondrous citta of nirvāṇa, the real mark without mark, the subtle and wondrous true Dharma. I entrust it to you; do not let it be broken off. Listen to my verse:
‘The Dharma originally is a Dharma of no-dharma;
A dharma of no-dharma is also a Dharma.
Now when the dharma of no-dharma is entrusted,
How has the Dharma of dharmas ever been a Dharma?’”
