Now, this present text directly explains the marks of causes and conditions of arising and ceasing. 'Defiled and pure arising and ceasing': defiled dharmas and pure dharmas each have arising and ceasing; for the defiled, going along with the stream is arising, and going against the stream is ceasing; for the pure, going against the stream is arising, and going along with the stream is ceasing. Furthermore, when defiled dharmas arise, it is when pure dharmas cease; when pure dharmas arise, it is when defiled dharmas cease. Furthermore, the arising of defiled dharmas is deluded arising, and their ceasing is complete cessation; the arising of pure dharmas is manifest arising, and their ceasing is concealed cessation. Although both are generally called arising and ceasing, there is this difference in their meanings. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.8.1) - [Next: 8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.8.3) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848~en-mt.8.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1848.8.2) · Pramāṇa
