Phenomena are neither existent nor non-existent. Being not existent, for the sake of sentient beings existence is forcibly spoken of to express non-existence; being not non-existent, for the sake of sentient beings non-existence is forcibly spoken of to express not non-existent. This means that existence and non-existence express neither existence nor non-existence; therefore, existence and non-existence are cut off. The primary intention is that what is not cut off is used to express what is cut off; hence, the non-cut-off is itself the cut-off. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.29) - [Next: 3.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.31) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854~en-mt.3.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1854.3.30) · Pramāṇa
