3.58
"Existence and nonexistence are two extremes,
Extending even to the objects of the mind;
When those objects are purified and removed,
The equal mind is tranquil and ceased.
When the nature of objects is not grasped,
Cessation is not nonexistence;
Existent entities are all tathatā,
Like the realm of the worthy and holy.
Without a seed yet there is arising,
And having arisen, it ceases again;
Existence and nonexistence through causes and conditions
Do not abide in my taught Dharma.
Neither tīrthikas nor the Buddha,
Neither self nor other,
Aggregated and arisen through causes and conditions,
How could it be nonexistent?
Who gathers causes and conditions into existence,
And then again says it is nonexistent?
Wrong views discuss arising and cessation,
Vikalpa conceptualizes existence and nonexistence.
If one knows there is nothing that arises,
And also nothing that ceases,
Observing all this as empty and tranquil,
One leaves behind both existence and nonexistence."
