Yet searching for it in reality, there is no real agent. The body is also like this: its movements and activities initiate myriad undertakings, and when viewed from delusion, it seems to have a ruler; yet investigating its origin, there is no self. \[Seng\]zhao says: Unfettered autonomy is what is called a 'self'. But external fire's arising and extinguishing depends on firewood; fire has no self-mastery. Fire lacking self-mastery means fire has no self. Since external fire has no self, internal fire is likewise by analogy. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.147](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.147) - [Next: 2.149](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.149) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.2.148) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.278) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.148](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.148) · Pramāṇa
