It is now explained: this breaks inconceivable afflictions. Arising arising within the realms is also arising; non-arising arising outside the realms is also arising; both are simply the arising of avidyā. Arising must depend on conditions to arise; arising from conditions is identical to emptiness and identical to the middle; the locus of mental activity is extinguished, and the path of speech is cut off; therefore it is ineffable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.190](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.190) - [Next: 5.192](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.192) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.5.191) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.191](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.191) · Pramāṇa
