8.18

Under 'not one', explaining non-oneness, the text has four: now first, continuing from the preceding to directly explain, in four [parts]: first, directly explaining. The root that subsumes the branches is the tathatā of arising-and-ceasing; the branches that subsume the root are the arising-and-ceasing of tathatā. Since one is arising-and-ceasing and one is unarising-and-unceasing, how could they have the meaning of oneness? Thus within the non-difference of mind, it clarifies the meaning of non-oneness.
