As said above, because the body has no illness, the hands and feet are autonomous and thus the body is autonomous. Here it is also like this: toward the principle of the Middle Way, neither craving nor views arise, and thus the dual functions of provisional and ultimate are autonomous; therefore wisdom is also unhindered, autonomous in essence and function, and he takes his name accordingly. > 'Arising and ceasing are dual': birth-and-death and nirvāṇa stand opposed as dual. If one sees that all sentient beings are themselves the mark of nirvāṇa and cannot be extinguished again, and that all dharmas from the beginning are constantly of the mark of quiescent extinction, how could there be arising? Since there is no arising, where is there ceasing to speak of? When neither arising nor ceasing are both eliminated at both extremes, there is no longer duality; based on this, one awakens to the Middle Way. The time of seeing the principle is termed the 'gate.' If one does not awaken, it is all according to delusion and is not a gate. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.65) - [Next: 9.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.67) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778~en-mt.9.66) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1778.9.66) · Pramāṇa
