Why? All non-Buddhists also say that a creator is non-arising and non-ceasing, which is no different from the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, saying that the three unconditioned phenomena are non-arising and non-ceasing." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.182](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.182) - [Next: 7.184](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.184) - [Up: 7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.7.183) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [入楞伽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-bodhiruci.6.34) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.183](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.183) · Pramāṇa
