80.9

Regarding the commentary’s statement, “Past and future are not conditions”: past conditions have already ceased, and future conditions have not yet met; therefore they are called non-conditions. Because they are non-conditions, the past has nothing that can arise, and the future has nothing that can be stirred; although the present is amid conditions, it does not unite with conditions; hence it is called free from conditions. Therefore, the “Pariṇāmanā” [Chapter] clarifies: “It pervades the three times yet is not identical with the three times; it pervades everything yet is not everything.” Therefore, although conditions arise, it is serenely unarisen.
