7.149

Because it was stated above that the Tathāgata's Dharmakāya has neither arising nor cessation, and also as the Buddha formerly in the sūtras conceptually identified non-arising and non-cessation, stating that this is an alternate name for the Tathāgata; yet since non-arising and non-cessation means there is no dharma, why is it said to be an alternate name for the Tathāgata? Mahāmati therefore brought up the contradiction between these two teachings to request that the Tathāgata harmonize them: Is it non-nature? Or is it an alternate name for the Tathāgata?
