Time also has no substance; extension and brevity depend on the mind. For beginning from a single instant, it ultimately forms an eon. If the instant does not arise, the eon is fundamentally empty; there are only measures of time such as beginning, middle, and end, which are all time of vijñaptimātra. The Guǎng bǎi lùn's "Chapter on Refuting Time" says: 'Furthermore, thus all dharmas, whether conventional or real, are designated relying on conventional, provisional characteristics. Why do you definitively grasp all dharmas as having a real substance?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 68.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.68.26) - [Next: 68.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.68.28) - [Up: 68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.68) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.68.27) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.68.27](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.68.27) · Pramāṇa
