If dharmas truly existed, their existing should have no perishing. Since dharmas perish accordingly, we know they do not truly exist. The treatise below states: "Now if existence were true existence, how could it wait for conditions and only then exist?" The Mūlamadhyamakakārikā states: "If a dharma truly existed, it should not be non-existent," and so on. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.1.19) - [Next: 1.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.1.21) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860~en-mt.1.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.1.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.1.20) · Pramāṇa
