68.21

Answer: The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhiśāstra says: 'Non-concurrent formations are also not truly existent. Why is this? Acquisition, non-acquisition, and the like do not have substances and characteristics that can be found like form, mind, and the various caittas; nor do they have functions that can be found apart from form, mind, and the various caittas. From this it is known that they are definitely not truly existent, but are merely conventionally established on the basis of states of form, etc. These definitely do not have real substances and functions apart from form, citta, and caittas.'
