However, the meaning of neither arising nor ceasing differs across the three natures. In parikalpitasvabhāva, there is no substance that could arise or cease. In paratantrasvabhāva, arising is itself non-arising, and ceasing is itself non-ceasing. In pariniṣpannasvabhāva, its own substance is fundamentally present without awaiting new arising, and it is ultimately permanent to the end of the future limit, never interrupted or extinguished.

If one discusses them in mutual contrast, each in terms of its own mark: the phenomena of parikalpita falsely arise and falsely cease, while the true mind of pariniṣpanna neither arises nor ceases. Paratantra has two aspects: its marks are identical to parikalpita, as a semblance of arising and a semblance of ceasing; its nature is identical to pariniṣpanna, neither arising nor ceasing. Therefore, the *Avataṃsaka Sūtra* says: “All phenomena do not arise; all phenomena do not cease.” Because the pratītyasamutpāda of paratantra has no separate self-nature, it is completely identical to pariniṣpanna. If one can awaken to this principle, then what the various Mahāyāna sūtras say about all phenomena neither arising nor ceasing, being ultimately permanent, and so forth, will leave no remainder.
