若以如生得授記者如無有生。若以如滅得授記者如無有滅 二明雙破生滅。若見如智生如體不生智亦無生。若見如惑滅如體無滅惑亦不滅。智無生即本覺。惑無滅即寂滅。此不生不滅。豈有授記哉。肇曰。如非不生滅。非有生滅。非不生滅故假以言記。非有生滅以知無記。

"If the prophecy was received through the arising of suchness, suchness has no arising. If the prophecy was received through the ceasing of suchness, suchness has no ceasing." Second, refuting both arising and ceasing. If one sees it as the arising of the wisdom of suchness, the substance of suchness does not arise, and wisdom also has no arising. If one sees it as the ceasing of defilements through suchness, the substance of suchness has no ceasing, and defilements also do not cease. Wisdom without arising is fundamental awakening; defilements without ceasing is tranquil extinction. This being unborn and unceasing, how could there be a prophecy? Sengzhao says: "Suchness is neither not arising and ceasing, nor having arising and ceasing. Because it is not that it does not arise and cease, he provisionally speaks of prophecy; because it does not have arising and ceasing, we know there is no prophecy."
