[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?"
