18.397

Below, examining and challenging it, it says: If you believe that there are the various coarse and subtle realms of sentient beings, and this makes you believe there are sentient beings without the nature, then should you also believe that there are those with faculties and those without faculties? Why? Because it is on account of sentient beings having faculties or lacking faculties that there are various coarse and subtle realms. If you do not believe there are sentient beings without faculties, how could there be coarse and subtle realms? If one says that having coarse and subtle realms does not warrant positing [the division into] those with faculties and those without faculties, then I also believe that having coarse and subtle realms does not warrant positing the meaning of having the nature or lacking the nature.
