Not knowing that it is neither existent nor non-existent, they forcibly assert existence and non-existence; thus they go against its nature and harm the person. To 'harm its person': the body originally arises from nature; now since one takes it to be non-existent, one thereby harms one's own body. Duke Zhuang of Dong'an said: 'If form is existent, it does not hold, for probing the source reveals obscurity; if form is non-existent, it does not hold, for conditioned arising brings forth ten thousand forms.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.52](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.52) - [Next: 3.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.54) - [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.3.53) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.3.53) · Pramāṇa
