When non-Buddhists holding the view of annihilation heard the teaching of no-self, they came and asked the Buddha: 'Since the substance of a self does not exist, who proceeds to a future life?' Just as the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, in answering those with the view of annihilation, taught that there are intermediate-state spontaneously born sentient beings who can proceed to a future life, it was not as something substantially real that he spoke of spontaneous birth. If it is not substantially real, how could the Buddha speak of it? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.224](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1834.1.224) - [Next: 1.226](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1834.1.226) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1834.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1834~en-mt.1.225) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1834.1.225](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1834.1.225) · Pramāṇa
