Examining this according to your treatise: the spirit of the living and the physical remains of the living have already transformed into a skeleton; does the spirit of the living alone not transform along with the body? If it transforms in dependence on the body, it should share the same substance with the body. If the physical remains are the skeleton, then the spirit of the dead cannot be different from the spirit of the living, so what was previously called dead was certainly not yet dead. If the physical remains are not the skeleton, then the living spirit transforms into a dead spirit; if the living spirit transforms into a dead spirit, this implies three lifetimes, so how can you say it is not extinguished? If the spirit follows the body, the body is already insentient; since the body is already insentient and the spirit fundamentally lacks material substance, insentience means the demise of the spirit. That the spirit has perished while the body remains is, once again, completely untenable. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 22.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.28) - [Next: 22.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.30) - [Up: 22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103~en-mt.22.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2103.22.29) · Pramāṇa
