If there is consciousness, there are inhalation, exhalation, glancing, blinking, life-span, and so forth; if consciousness departs from the body, there are none. If you say that the self is permanent and all-pervading, a dead person should also have glancing, blinking, inhalation, exhalation, life-span, and so forth. Furthermore, inhalation, exhalation, and the rest are material dharmas (rūpadharma), moving and initiating through the force of the wind that follows citta; these are characteristics of consciousness, not characteristics of a self. Life-span is a saṃskāra associated with citta; it is also a characteristic of consciousness." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 65.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.65.20) - [Next: 65.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.65.22) - [Up: 65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.65) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.65.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.65.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.65.21) · Pramāṇa
