Buddha-nature is not like this: it fundamentally existed and is now non-existent, or it was fundamentally non-existent and now exists; therefore it both exists and does not exist, which is the meaning of the Middle Way. The sūtra says: "When the afflictions, fetters, wholesome, and indeterminate \[states\] are exhausted, it is called Buddha-nature." That which fundamentally existed and is now non-existent is affliction; that which was fundamentally non-existent and now exists is bodhi. If one says that throughout the three times afflictions are entirely non-existent like empty space, and that throughout the three times bodhi is entirely non-existent like a hare's horns, this is called slandering the Buddha, Dharma, and Saṅgha. Therefore it is said: "That phenomena exist in the three times is impossible"). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 26.518](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.26.518) - [Next: 26.520](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.26.520) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.26) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128~en-mt.26.519) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.26.519](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2128.26.519) · Pramāṇa
