If one grasps them as definitely existent, one falls into eternalism, because they could not be severed; if one grasps them as definitely non-existent, one falls into annihilationism, forfeiting holy wisdom. Therefore, the ancient virtuous ones said: 'The Buddha is fundamentally existent, yet one diligently cultivates; delusion is fundamentally non-existent, yet it must be severed.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 10.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.10.34) - [Next: 10.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.10.36) - [Up: 10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.10) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.10.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.10.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.10.35) · Pramāṇa
