Sengliang comments: "Refuting this attachment has three passes. This is the first: because it arises from conditions, when conditions are large the lamp is large, and this is why there can be differences. The self does not arise from conditions; it should not differ." Baoliang comments: "Both the lamp and the light exist entirely from conditions; since the self is not so, how could it serve as an analogy? The lamp and light must have root and branch: the flame on the wick is the root, and the illumination above is the branch; this establishes that the self does not emerge from the body to abide in another place, and therefore there is no self."
