This is because the Kanding ji does not accept the ten times as a profound gate. Its point is: because time is one among the ten phenomenal essences of support. If long kalpas enter short kalpas and so on, it is merely the gate of mutual entrance. If saying long kalpas are identical to short kalpas, it is the gate of mutual identity; hence, one knows that the ten times are not a separate profound gate. This also has its rationale. The ancient intention was that the other ten pairs have attainable essences that can serve as supports; time exists in reliance on phenomena and has no separate self-essence, so how could it serve as a support for others? Moreover, because non-Buddhists hypothesize time to be eternal, it is not retained as a phenomenal essence. For this reason, following the ancients, it is separately established as a profound gate. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 11.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.11.15) - [Next: 11.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.11.17) - [Up: 11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.11) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.11.16) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.11.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.11.16) · Pramāṇa
