If the former did not cease, one would fall into eternalism; if the latter did not arise, that would be annihilationism. Avidyā conditioning saṃskāras means: because the former ceases, the latter is then able to arise. The twelve links are all like this; this is naturally explained as a single meaning. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 64.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.64.36) - [Next: 64.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.64.38) - [Up: 64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.64) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.64.37) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.64.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.64.37) · Pramāṇa
