1.20

"Truly" means real. 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.
