- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [3.197](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.3.197)

什曰，前心不待後心生竟然後滅也。肇曰：成前無相，常淨義也。諸法如電，新新不停，一起一滅不相待也。彈指頃有六十念過，諸法乃無一念頃住，況欲久停。無住則如幻，如幻則不實，不實則為空，空則常淨。然則物物斯淨，何有罪累於我哉？

> \[Kumāra\]jīva says: "The preceding mind does not wait for the subsequent mind to finish arising before it perishes." \[Seng\]zhao says: "This completes the previous meaning of signlessness and constant purity. Dharmas are like lightning, continuously in flux, arising and perishing without depending on each other. In the space of a finger-snap, sixty thought-moments pass; dharmas do not abide even for a single thought-moment, much less stay long. Non-abiding, they are like illusions; like illusions, they are unreal; unreal, they are empty; empty, they are constantly pure. Thus each and every thing is pure; how could there be a burden of sin upon me?"
