Because the two causes of the past drag consciousness and so forth along, it is not annihilated; because consciousness and so forth cease, the three causes do not arise, hence it is not eternal. Moreover, because the three periods of time are continuous, it is not annihilated; because it lacks intrinsic nature, it is not eternal. Furthermore, in forward order, birth-and-death is boundless, hence not annihilated; in reverse order, ignorance is scorched and exhausted, hence not eternal. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.2.6) - [Next: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.2.8) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705~en-mt.2.7) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.2.7) · Pramāṇa
