The first says: "If one hears the syllable door of A, one understands all meanings, namely that all phenomena are fundamentally non-arising."' Now, the beginning of this treatise clarifies the four inexpressibles, which is precisely the meaning of non-arising; hence it cites that passage. Next, it cites the eight negations from Nāgārjuna's Mūlamadhyamakakārikā: first, the beginning of that treatise clarifies the eight negations, taking non-arising as the foremost, which is identical with the present treatise. Second, that treatise clarifies that phenomena do not arise from themselves, nor do they arise from another, nor from both, nor without a cause; therefore it speaks of non-arising. The treatise master used these four phrases to explain the eight negations, discerning that phenomena do not arise, in order to elaborate the sūtra. The present treatise takes that single phrase 'from oneself' to raise thirty-six questions. Because of these two points, it cites the text of that treatise. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1921.2.1) - [Next: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1921.2.3) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1921.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1921~en-mt.2.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1921.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1921.2.2) · Pramāṇa
