The Dharma is called quiescent extinction. If one practices arising and perishing, this is seeking arising and perishing, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma is called undefiled. If one is defiled by dharmas, even nirvāṇa, this is defiled attachment, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma has no sphere of activity. If one acts within dharmas, this is a sphere of activity, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma has no grasping or abandoning. If one grasps or abandons dharmas, this is grasping and abandoning, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma has no location. If one clings to a location, this is clinging to a location, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma is called signless. If one cognizes in accordance with signs, this is seeking signs, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma cannot be abided in. If one abides in dharmas, this is abiding in dharmas, not seeking the Dharma. The Dharma cannot be seen, heard, sensed, or known. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.20) - [Next: 6.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.22) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.6.21) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [維摩經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2771.1.25) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.21) · Pramāṇa
