[Seng]zhao says: Clarifying the absence of the characteristics of coming and going fulfills what Spotless Fame praised. Going, coming, and seeing each other are all provisional designations of causes and conditions. What has not yet come does not come; what has already come does not come again. Leaving aside what has already come and what has not yet come, where else could there be coming and going? Seeing is also like this. The subtle dialectic within this should be sought in the treatises. [Dao]sheng says: This has already been fully treated in the preceding passage, so it is not elaborated further here.
