Why is this? A verse says: / 'Just as external things in the world / Cause harm and benefit apart from a self, / Although internally there is no real self, / The principle of defilement and purity should be established.' / The treatise says: 'Just as external worldly things, although lacking a self, nevertheless have various calamities and misfortunes, as well as favorable benefits, successfully accomplishing activities; just so, internal phenomena, although lacking a self, have the various principles of defilement and purity established. Therefore there is no fault.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 66.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.3) - [Next: 66.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.5) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.66.4) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.66.4) · Pramāṇa
