The Dharma-nature is constantly empty, fundamentally without arising; what is there now to extinguish? This still explains the dharmas he confronted in mind. \[Dao\]sheng says: Arising from other, it has no self-nature. Since it has no self-nature, how could it have other-nature? Thus, fundamentally not burning, how could there be extinction? Therefore, they are like illusions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.347](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.347) - [Next: 2.349](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.349) - [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.2.348) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.348](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.348) · Pramāṇa
