1.287

所以然者，夫有若真有，有自常有，豈待緣而後有哉；譬彼真無，無自常無，豈待緣而後無？

"Why is this so? If existence were truly existent, existence would naturally be permanently existent; how could it wait for conditions and only then exist? By analogy, if non-existence were truly non-existent, non-existence would naturally be permanently non-existent; how could it wait for conditions and only then be non-existent?"
