Since in reality there is no dharma, what is said to arise?" > The imperial decree answered: "Precisely these arising dharmas are called perverse seeing; and precisely this perverse seeing is called arising dharmas." > \[Xiao Zhengli\] also inquired: "If it is perverse seeing, there should not be arising. If there must be arising, why is it named perverse seeing?" > The imperial decree answered: "Since it is called perverse seeing, in reality there is of itself no arising. It is only that perverse seeing takes it as existent, and there is this perverse arising." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 21.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.19) - [Next: 21.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.21) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.21.20) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.21.20) · Pramāṇa
