Herein there are two: first question, then answer. This is the first. The meaning of this question is: as stated above, the substance of the mind in movement and tranquility entirely becomes arising and ceasing; if arising and ceasing are severed, the tranquil mind should be extinguished; why is it that one only breaks the characteristics of the composite consciousness and destroys the characteristics of the continuous mind to reveal the dharmakāya and so forth? This is the objection that grasps the true as identical to the delusional. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.17) - [Next: 3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.19) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814~en-mt.3.18) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.94) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.3.18) · Pramāṇa
