### [3.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1824.3.11)

「以無生無滅故餘六事亦無」下，第二次明攝法。攝法者，非是別破六事，但明以無生故即無有六。故攝六在無生之中，都是為顯無生義。所以明無生義者，欲顯八不無法不窮、無言不盡，但明無生一句，尚無法不窮、無言不盡，況具明八不耶？即是釋上總破一切法也。問：云何無生滅即無六事？答：二義。一者生滅是有為，既無有為，亦無無為。有為無為無故，一切法畢竟空。二者因果相生此是世諦，世諦無故真諦亦無，二諦無故二智亦無，故一切法空便無六事也。

> Regarding "Because there is neither arising nor perishing, the remaining six matters are also non-existent" and following: this is the second \[section\], clarifying the subsumption of phenomena. Subsuming phenomena does not mean refuting the six matters separately, but merely clarifying that because there is no arising, there are no six. Thus subsuming the six within non-arising is entirely to reveal the meaning of non-arising. Why clarify the meaning of non-arising? To reveal that the eight negations leave no phenomenon unexhausted and no speech incomplete. Merely clarifying the single phrase "non-arising" already leaves no phenomenon unexhausted and no speech incomplete, how much more so fully clarifying the eight negations? That is to say, it explains the general refutation of all phenomena above. Question: Why is it that without arising and perishing there are no six matters? Answer: For two reasons. First, arising and perishing are conditioned; since conditioned phenomena are absent, unconditioned phenomena are also absent. Because conditioned and unconditioned are absent, all phenomena are ultimately empty. Second, cause and effect mutually generating is conventional truth; because conventional truth is absent, ultimate truth is also absent; because the two truths are absent, the two knowledges are also absent; therefore, all phenomena being empty, there are no six matters.
