If liberation takes non-existence as real, the statement also has real existence. Existence and non-existence conflict with each other; how could liberation be expressed in words? Therefore, he resorted to this silence to make clear that liberation is not real non-existence. Since liberation is not real non-existence, only then can dwelling and words necessarily be identified with it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.235](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.235) - [Next: 6.237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.237) - [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.6.236) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.236](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.6.236) · Pramāṇa
