'Does not separate from suffering' reveals the fault based upon it: non-Buddhists proclaim that the spiritual self is eternal, so following their intention it is spoken of as an eternal dharma; the five aggregates are suffering, so the self abiding within the aggregates is called not being separated from suffering. 'If there is no self' cites their view of annihilation: people holding the view of annihilation say that there is no conventional self that arises and ceases, and even that there is no true self of nirvāṇa; this is generally called 'no self.' 'Cultivation is of no benefit' reveals the fault based upon it: because there is no self, there is nothing to be nourished and benefited, hence there is no benefit. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.4) - [Next: 4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.6) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.4.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.4.5) · Pramāṇa
