From 'Saṃsāra is like an illusion or a dream' onwards, next explains how saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are each free from annihilationism and eternalism: comprehending saṃsāra to be like an illusion and a dream, it is therefore not eternal; karma is not destroyed, therefore it is not annihilated. Space and nirvāṇa are the three unconditioned dharmas, all being nirvāṇa. This nirvāṇa is also like an illusion and therefore not eternal; yet unlike Hīnayāna's extinction into nothingness, it is not annihilated—the two cessations are non-dual. This means that saṃsāra and nirvāṇa are non-dual, and their freedom from annihilationism and eternalism is also like this. Fools generate vikalpa and so fall into annihilationism and eternalism; the noble ones are already free from existence and nonexistence, so there is no differentiation of dual dharmas. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.705](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.705) - [Next: 1.707](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.707) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.1.706) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.3.7) — Classical Tibetan - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.2.25) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.706](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.1.706) · Pramāṇa
