Now it states again that the mind ceases. If the mind ceases, then the nature of the garbha ceases; this challenges the specific essence by invoking the common name, suspecting that the essence of the concomitant mind ceases. If the essence ceases, one should become a Buddha in the eighth stage, because lacking mind as a support, the three subtle \[marks\] would perish; perishing, there would be nothing left to sever, so how could one wait to achieve it? Regarding "if it is said and so forth": because avidyā exists depending on the essence of mind, and the essence of mind is permanent, avidyā is also permanent; hence the three subtle \[marks\] that depend upon it could never cease. This suspects that the non-concomitant mind could never be extinguished. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 13.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.17) - [Next: 13.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.19) - [Up: 13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.13.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.13.18) · Pramāṇa
