'Challenge' (zheng) means to cross-examine. The preceding chapter stated that the path of nirvāṇa indeed transcends the realms of existence and non-existence. The intention of the challenge is: the two dharmas of existence and non-existence encompass everything; how could there be a separate substance of nirvāṇa outside of existence and non-existence? Examining the words of the challenge now, it includes the doctrines of existence and non-existence of Confucianism and Laozi, and further cites the two dharmas of existence and non-existence of the Hīnayāna as examples to challenge it. The 'transcendence of the realm' below completely transcends this existence and non-existence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.177](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.177) - [Next: 3.179](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.179) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860~en-mt.3.178) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.178](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.178) · Pramāṇa
