摩訶止觀 5.236

5.236

若前念滅後念生者：前不滅生，名為自性；今由滅生，不滅望滅，豈非他性？他性滅中有生故生？無生故生？有生是生，生滅相違，乃是生生，何謂滅生？若滅無生，無何能生？若滅有生性，性破如前。

If the subsequent thought arises when the prior thought has ceased: arising from the unceased prior thought was called self-nature; now arising due to cessation, viewing the unceased in relation to cessation, is this not other-nature? Does it arise because there is arising within the cessation that is other-nature, or because there is no arising? If there is arising, it is an arising, yet arising and cessation are mutually contradictory; this would be arising producing arising, so how could it be cessation producing arising? If cessation lacks arising, how could nonexistence produce anything? If cessation possesses a nature of arising, the nature is refuted as before.
