The arising of sickness and illness is entirely due to the false thoughts and inversions of previous lives. Because of false thoughts and inversions, afflictions arise; once afflictions have arisen, one cannot be without a body; having a body, one cannot be without ailments. Tracing back to their fundamental basis, they are empty, false, and unreal; since the basis is unreal, who is it that experiences illness? This clarifies a beginner's initial practice of the contemplation of non-self. \[Dao\]sheng says: Furthermore, there is nothing that is ill. Since there is nothing that is ill, illness too is non-existent. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.153) - [Next: 5.155](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.155) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.5.154) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.2.57) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.5.154) · Pramāṇa
