Answer: If one one-sidedly contemplates all as suchness, it is still \[the view of\] annihilation; if one does not contemplate suchness, it is still \[the view of\] permanence. The Vimalakīrti-nirdeśa speaks of suchness to cause one to leave behind the view of permanence; this \[text\] speaks of non-contemplation to cause one to leave behind the view of annihilation. Once the two views are abandoned, the Middle Way becomes clear of itself, and so forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.3.7) - [Next: 3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.3.9) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705~en-mt.3.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1705.3.8) · Pramāṇa
