If examined through the four tetralemma propositions, ignorance originally does not arise of itself, and the source of its arising cannot be found; this is beginningless emptiness, and it is named the 'emptiness samādhi.' Emptiness is the root of non-abiding, all phenomena. If so, how could it be wholly identical to the Dilun masters who posited that the Dharma-nature of suchness generates all phenomena! And how could it be wholly identical to the She-dacheng masters who posited that the ālayavijñāna generates all phenomena! > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.2.90) - [Next: 2.92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.2.92) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777~en-mt.2.91) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.2.91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1777.2.91) · Pramāṇa
