10.74

[Kumāra]jīva says: If dharmas definitely existed, they would neither arise nor perish; if dharmas were completely non-existent, they would likewise neither arise nor perish; neither arising nor perishing would then contradict dependent origination. What the profound sūtras explain is neither existence nor non-existence; because it is neither existence nor non-existence, it conforms to the law of dependent origination. [Dao]sheng says: Its explanation does not contravene the principle of dependent origination.
