Why? If you say the mind contains all dharmas, that is horizontal. If you say the mind generates all dharmas, that is vertical. If you say it arises from itself, mind does not generate mind. If you say it arises from another, since 'self' cannot be established, how could there be 'another'? If you say it arises from both, since self and other are both absent, what would combine to form 'both'? If you say it arises without a cause, even with a cause it does not arise, how much less without a cause!" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 100.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.100.46) - [Next: 100.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.100.48) - [Up: 100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.100) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.100.47) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.100.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.100.47) · Pramāṇa
