The object is arising and perishing, and the contemplation is likewise. Therefore, the object of arising and perishing gives rise to the contemplation of arising and perishing, and the contemplation of arising and perishing illuminates the object of arising and perishing; this is why it is said that the wheel of arising and perishing turns in four directions. The Mahāyāna clarifies that because there is neither suffering nor origination, there is no arising; because there is neither the path nor cessation, there is no perishing; hence it is called the one truth. Using the one truth of non-arising and non-perishing, it gives rise to the one contemplation of non-arising and non-perishing; the one contemplation of non-arising and non-perishing illuminates the one object of non-arising and non-perishing; hence it is said that the wheel of non-arising and non-perishing turns in the direction of the one truth. However, since turning the wheel is turning through non-turning, the arising of the object is also arising through non-arising; turning through non-turning, though turning, does not illuminate; arising through non-arising, though arising, does not give rise. Next, it clarifies that the Hīnayāna wheel turns in four directions, and the Mahāyāna is likewise, but the Hīnayāna turns in the four directions with measure, while the Mahāyāna turns in the four directions without measure. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.8.12) - [Next: 8.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.8.14) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.8.13) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.8.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.8.13) · Pramāṇa
