Question: "According to what was said above, grasping biasedly at either existence or nonexistence of the other-dependent nature is inadmissible. Grasping both existence and nonexistence should accord with reason. How is it that [grasping] both existence [and nonexistence] possesses the above faults?"

But when both existence and nonexistence are grasped as conceived [by ordinary mind], it becomes a contradiction and possesses all the above faults."
