8.19

Question: If the severance of both extremes is called "nothing produced," why is it that at the first abode there are still forty-one grades of production? Answer: When one grade of production is severed, that is one [instance of] non-production; although there are forty-one grades of production, all are without fixed nature, which is non-production. Thus the Dàzhìdù lùn says: "Though one has not yet escaped the place of death, one is regarded as having already escaped."
