This is the second part, refuting in terms of practice; the text has two parts. This is the first, framing the alternatives: was the prophecy received upon seeing the arising of the wisdom of suchness, or was the prophecy received upon seeing the ceasing of defilements through suchness? Sengzhao says: "Although suchness is free from arising and ceasing, arising and ceasing are not different from suchness. However, the prophecy arises from the dark convergence of arising and ceasing, solely residing in identity with the true; therefore he provisionally uses the arising and ceasing of suchness to clarify that the prophecy is not distinct \[from it\]." Kumārajīva says: "Receiving a prophecy must fundamentally depend on attaining suchness. Not having attained it originally and attaining it now seems as if there were an arising; when suchness arises, defilements cease, which also seems as if something ceased within it. Therefore, he first asks about its arising and ceasing to clarify that there is neither arising nor ceasing." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.536](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.536) - [Next: 1.538](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.538) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777~en-mt.1.537) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [注維摩詰經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.4.32) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.537](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.537) · Pramāṇa
