1.536

"If the prophecy is received by means of non-birth, non-birth is the correct status. Within the correct status there is neither prophecy nor the attainment of anuttarā-samyak-saṃbodhi. How then could Maitreya receive a prophecy of one birth?" This is the second part, reproaching in terms of the gateway of non-birth; the text has two parts. First, refuting in terms of principle; second, refuting in terms of practice. This is the first. Sengzhao says: "Above he investigated that in having birth there is no prophecy; here he investigates that in non-birth there is also none. Non-birth is the signless, truly correct status of phenomena of the seventh abode. This status being principle, there is neither prophecy nor attainment. In what could Maitreya receive the prophecy of one birth?"
