Question: "Why are unconditioned dharmas not called 'to be cultivated'?" Answer: "Because the unconditioned does not alter, and thus cannot be cultivated so as to increase. Furthermore, cultivation is for the sake of a fruit, whereas the unconditioned has no fruit." Regarding that which is not to be cultivated, namely liberation: nirvāṇa is wholesome and permanent, transcending all dharmas; therefore it is called "supreme". > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.157](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.157) - [Next: 19.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.19.1) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.18.158) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.18.158) · Pramāṇa
