8.132

從如是所有變異因緣乃至令不生起以來，明釋伏難。伏難云：如是日灸青葉令黃，此青葉豈不由日故令青不現，即日為青壞緣也。今釋云：日能變青為黃，如是汝何言日為變異因緣者乎，此日即後黃色生之因緣，非前青色壞之因緣，所以者何？由世人前青色滅已現見有黃色生，此黃與青不相似，可得是黃生是有，故知日與黃生為緣非青滅為緣，若日灸青壞已後黃不生可日與青滅為緣，滅有緣生後黃即有生，明知日與後黃生為緣，非青壞為緣，非彼一切令不可得若青滅已一切後法全不可得，即日與青壞為緣也。下反解云：或有諸行既滅壞已乃至亦不可得已來。是外人難：若此滅已有餘法生可如前解，若此法滅已無餘法生，是即如何，煎水，悉盡無為將後緣等，故知滅法得有因緣。

From "Such causes and conditions of alteration as there are" up to "cause it not to arise," it clarifies and resolves a hidden objection. The hidden objection states: "When the sun scorches green leaves and makes them yellow, is it not due to the sun that the green is made not to appear? Thus the sun is the condition for the destruction of the green." Now it is explained: The sun can alter green into yellow; why do you say that the sun is the condition of alteration? This sun is the cause and condition for the subsequent arising of the yellow color, not the cause and condition for the destruction of the prior green color. Why is this? Because worldly people, after the prior green color has ceased, directly see the arising of the yellow color. This yellow is not similar to the green; it is acceptable that this arising of yellow is an existent. Therefore, one knows that the sun serves as a condition for the arising of yellow, not as a condition for the cessation of green. If, after the sun scorched and destroyed the green, yellow did not subsequently arise, it might be that the sun served as a condition for the cessation of green. Cessation having a condition, the subsequent yellow would then arise. Thus one clearly knows that the sun serves as a condition for the arising of the subsequent yellow, not for the destruction of the green; it does not render everything unobtainable. If, once the green had ceased, all subsequent phenomena were entirely unobtainable, then the sun would be the condition for the destruction of the green. Below, an objection is presented in reverse: from "Or, once certain conditioned formations have ceased and been destroyed" up to "likewise cannot be obtained." This is an outsider's objection: "If, once this has ceased, another phenomenon arises, it could be explained as before. But if, once this phenomenon has ceased, no other phenomenon arises, how is that so? In boiling water until it is completely exhausted, nothing [material] remains to serve as a subsequent condition, etc.; therefore one knows that the ceasing of phenomena can have causes and conditions."
