'If one attains immobility with regard to phenomena' means that if bodhisattvas, though contemplating phenomena, realize that existence is directly emptiness, because it is empty it is immobile, and because emptiness is immobile, there is neither arising nor perishing. 'Signless' means: signs refer to phenomena; being without signs is emptiness; awakening to signs as being directly empty, it is called 'signless'. 'Without signlessness' means that it does not mean discarding signs to abide in signlessness; signlessness is also discarded, hence 'without signlessness'. 'Views should not arise' means that if one abides in signs, views arise; if one does not abide in existence or non-existence, views do not exist. Therefore Dharma Master Sengzhao said: 'The gate of prajñā contemplates emptiness; the gate of upāya engages with existence. Engaging with existence, one never loses emptiness, so one remains in existence without being defiled; not detesting existence when contemplating emptiness, one contemplates emptiness without \[prematurely\] realizing \[quiescence\].' This is what is meant. Next is the second \[part\], inquiring into the reason. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.52) - [Next: 2.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.54) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709~en-mt.2.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.2.53) · Pramāṇa
