And: 'The arising of consciousness cannot even be found, how much less the non-arising of consciousness?' Both arising and non-arising are unobtainable. The Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra also extensively refutes the view of non-arising. Moreover, the principle of non-arising is not something known by consciousness; how could it be conceptualized by delusion? Abandoning existence to condition nonexistence is like an inchworm, or like a monkey. One should not falsely cling to this view. This is the general refutation. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.247](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.247) - [Next: 5.249](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.249) - [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.5.248) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.248](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.248) · Pramāṇa
