Refuting these essential natures, none is admissible. Because there are not these four propositions, there is no intrinsic nature. Having no intrinsic nature, it is only through worldly names and within the four siddhāntas that stimulus and response, active and passive, and so on, are discussed. There is no active responder belonging to the Buddha. If one were to continually pile up various words, names would become chaotic and indiscernible. Though such names are made, they do not abide; these words are non-existent, and thus are like dreams and illusions. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 61.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.61.42) - [Next: 61.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.61.44) - [Up: 61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.61) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.61.43) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.6.37) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.61.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.61.43) · Pramāṇa
