The treatise states: 'All is real; all is unreal; all is both real and unreal; all is neither real nor unreal.' In these four propositions, the Buddha extensively taught the paramārtha-siddhānta. Taking 'all is real' as the gate of existence: dharmas such as karma and fruit, wholesome and unwholesome, up to nirvāṇa, are all illusions and conjurations. Like an image in a mirror, although it lacks an actual nature, there are the illusory six parts such as the head; this is the gate of existence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.121) - [Next: 8.123](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.123) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.8.122) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經玄疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.6.57) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.122) · Pramāṇa
