7.182

In the second [phrase], "not abiding in production and cessation," the wording differs but the meaning is identical. Whatever is saṃskṛta is produced and ceases in the very same instant; there is no different time [for them]. This is because they lack inherent nature and their substance is unreal. A sūtra says: "When causes and conditions harmonize, there is unreal arising; when causes and conditions separate, it is unreally called cessation." The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra says: "The very moment of arising is cessation; this is not taught to fools." The Awakening of Faith says: "One should contemplate present phenomena recollected as like a flash of lightning through clouds."
