If the past mind attains rebirth, the past mind has already perished and cannot be said to be reborn. If the future mind attains rebirth, the future mind has not yet arrived; how can it be said to be reborn? If the present mind attains rebirth, the present mind does not abide; how again can it be reborn? Since looking for rebirth in these three times yields nothing, why do you now urge rebirth in the West? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.2.1) - [Next: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.2.3) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960~en-mt.2.2) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1960.2.2) · Pramāṇa
