### [3.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1916.3.36)

當知陰入等一切諸法不從內因有，亦不從外緣有，亦不因緣合故有，亦不無因緣有。若非有，即是空。若於無所有空中計有者，當知但是無明顛倒妄計為有。若了知顛倒所計之法一切悉皆虛誑，猶如夢幻，但有名字，名字之法亦不可得，則言語道斷，心行處滅，畢竟空寂，猶如虛空。若行者體知一切諸法如虛空者，無取無捨，無依無倚，無住無著。若心無取捨、依倚、住著，則一切妄想顛倒生死業行悉皆止息，無為無欲，無念無行，無造無作，無示無說，無諍無競，泯然清淨，如大涅槃，是名真止。此則止無所止，無止之止，名體真止。故經偈云：

> One should know that all dharmas, such as the aggregates and bases, do not exist from internal causes, nor from external conditions, nor from the combination of causes and conditions, nor without causes and conditions. If they do not exist, they are empty. If within non-existent emptiness one conceives existence, one should know that this is merely the false conception of existence through ignorance and inversion. If one thoroughly knows that all dharmas conceived through inversion are false and deceptive, like dreams or phantoms, having only names, while the dharmas of names are also unobtainable, then the path of speech is severed, the place of mental activity ceases, and all is ultimately empty and tranquil, like empty space. If the practitioner realizes that all dharmas are like empty space, there is no grasping and no discarding, no reliance and no leaning, no abiding and no clinging. If the mind is free of grasping and discarding, reliance and leaning, abiding and clinging, then all false thinking, inversions, and karmic actions of saṃsāra completely cease: unconditioned and without desire, without ideation and without practice, without fabrication and without action, without showing and without speaking, without dispute and without contention, obliterated in purity, like great nirvāṇa—this is called true stopping. This is stopping without any place to stop; the stopping of non-stopping is called 'stopping through realizing reality'. Therefore, a scriptural verse says:
