Non-Buddhists imagine and cling to all phenomena having real intrinsic nature and characteristics, positing them as non-arising and non-ceasing. Because the Tathāgata does not fall into the categories of existence and non-existence, whatever Dharma he expounds is free from existence, non-existence, arising, and cessation. How is it free from existence and non-existence? Like the forms in an illusion or a dream: when right in the dream, one cannot say they do not exist; however, because those forms and characteristics are not truly existent, one cannot say they exist. Neither the grasping nor the grasped can be apprehended; therefore it is said that all phenomena are non-arising and non-ceasing, free from existence and free from non-existence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 7.190](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.190) - [Next: 7.192](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.192) - [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.7.191) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.191](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.7.191) · Pramāṇa
