14.394

又謂壞滅，是滅壞因，不應理等者，景云：外人救云：若火是法非滅因者，我宗別有非色、非心滅相能滅諸法，今非之。汝宗滅相與生相俱，生相生法，滅相滅法，道理不成。彼若救云：於一法上四相同時而用先後，初生次住終異後滅。若爾，是則一法經四剎那，以彼四相用時異故。彼復救云：雖復四相用有先後同一剎那，不經多念者，則汝所立剎那時非極短，以四相用四時別故，若言我立時中極短，是則生滅應同時用，未來生相正生法時滅則應滅。若爾，一切有為但至未來半相時滅不至現在，則有為無為相續斷壞過失。

Regarding '[If you claim that] disintegration and destruction are the cause of destruction and disintegration, it is not reasonable,' and so forth, Jing says: The opponent rescues [his position], saying: 'If fire is a phenomenon that is not the cause of destruction, our school posits an additional characteristic of destruction, neither material nor mental, which is capable of destroying phenomena.' Now this is refuted. In your school, the characteristic of destruction is simultaneous with the characteristic of arising; the characteristic of arising produces phenomena, and the characteristic of destruction destroys phenomena—this principle does not hold. If he rescues it by saying: 'On a single phenomenon, the four characteristics are simultaneous, but their functions are successive: first arising, next abiding, then decaying, and finally perishing'—if so, then a single phenomenon would span four moments, because the times of the functions of those four characteristics are distinct. If he rescues it further by saying: 'Although the functions of the four characteristics have earlier and later, they share a single moment and do not span multiple moments,' then the moment you establish would not be extremely short, because the functions of the four characteristics have four distinct times. If one says, 'What I establish is the shortest among times,' then arising and perishing should function at the same time: when the characteristic of arising in the future is just producing a phenomenon, it should be destroyed by destruction. If so, all conditioned phenomena would only reach the future 'half-characteristic' time and perish without ever reaching the present; thus there would be the fault of the conditioned and the unconditioned having their continuity severed and destroyed.
