,也是不行的。必须说出作为存在的因是什么。还有,任何事物在其他时候也以刹那的相续不断地存在,并且总是显现的事物,那些是从因产生的,例如灯火一样。如同灯火从因产生,所以在刹那的相续中不断地显现。如果布匹或者灯火等的因耗尽而消失,那么就会不显现一样,如果想要这些事物也恒常显现,那么就是从因产生的。什么时候因耗尽或者消失,恒常显现也会中断。因此,为了中间恒常存在,因不能没有间断。一切有为法都是从因产生而变化的意义。关于这一点,内外的一切有为法都是从因缘产生的。从因缘产生是什么意思呢?是从因缘产生的意思。凡是从因和缘产生的,那些不是常有的自性,而是刹那的自性。这是什么意思。如果它已经产生 之后也还会产生,那么它必定会有因。关于这一点,第一个刹那由因缘产生,如果想要第二个刹那等也产生和出生,那么就像第一个刹那由因产生一样,第二个刹那等也需要产生它的因。如果其他人这样想:第一个刹那有产生它的因,但是第二个刹那没有产生它的因,而是自己坏灭,如果这样想,为了显示那是不合理的,所以说了“没有因的话,那么从一开始就没有”。如同后面的刹那没有产生它的因,那么那个刹那从一开始就没有,从一开始就不会产生,也不会显现。对于它,凡是有因的那些就会产生,例如苗芽一样。凡是没有因的,它就不会产生,例如虚空中的花朵一样。还有,如果后面的刹那产生没有因,那么前面的刹那产生也会变成没有因。

, it is also not possible. It is necessary to speak of what is the cause of being existent. Also, any object that exists continuously with a momentary stream at other times, and that always appears, those are born from a cause, like a lamp. Just as a lamp is born from a cause, it appears continuously in a momentary stream. If the cause of cloth or lamp, etc., is exhausted and disappears, then it will not appear. Likewise, if you want these objects to always appear, then they are born from a cause. When the cause is exhausted or disappears, the constant appearance will also be interrupted. Therefore, in order to be constantly present in the middle, the cause cannot be without interruption. All conditioned phenomena are born from a cause and are changing in meaning. Regarding this, all internal and external conditioned phenomena are born from cause and condition. What does it mean to be born from cause and condition? It means to arise from cause and condition. Whatever arises from cause and condition, those are not of a permanent nature, but of a momentary nature. That is what it means. If it has arisen and will arise later, then it will necessarily have a cause. Regarding this, the first moment is produced by cause and condition. If you want the second moment and so on to also arise and be born, then just as the first moment is produced by a cause, the second moment and so on also need a cause to produce it. If others think like this: the first moment has a cause to produce it, but the second moment does not have a cause to produce it, but it perishes by itself, if you think like this, in order to show that it is unreasonable, it is said, "If there is no cause, then it does not exist from the beginning." Just as the later moment does not have a cause to produce it, then that moment does not exist from the beginning, it will not be born from the beginning, and it will not appear. For it, whatever has a cause will arise, like a sprout. Whatever does not have a cause, it will not arise, like a flower in the sky. Also, if the later moment arises without a cause, then the earlier moment will also become without a cause.

诶。因为刹那的自性相同,所以有些刹那有因,有些刹那没有因是不合理的。有些人认为,产生第一个刹那的因,也能产生后面的刹那。为了说明这是不合理的,所以说,不应该由同一个因产生,因为那个因已经用过了。意思是说,产生前一个刹那的因,不能产生后一个刹那。为什么呢?因为产生前一个刹那的因,已经产生了它的果,并且已经消失了,所以消失的因不能产生后面的刹那。任何因产生任何果,并且消失的因不能产生其他的果,就像种子一样。例如,种子产生苗芽后,消失的种子不能作为产生后面树干的因。所谓“用过了”的意思,就是已经成就了果,并且已经消失了的意思。如果其他人这样认为,产生前一个刹那的因,已经产生了它的果,并且已经消失了,所以它不能产生后面的刹那,而是后面的刹那由其他的因产生。为了说明这也是不合理的,所以说,也找不到其他的因。因此,必须认识到,后面的刹那一定是从前面的因产生的。意思是说,对于后面的刹那,也没有看到有其他的因产生它的因。因此,必须认识到,前面的刹那是因,后面的刹那是果,像水流一样,不断地产生。为了总结上面所说的内容,所以说,不能像那样不是连续不断地,而是在其他的时间存在。意思是说,如上面所说,前面的刹那,前面的刹那是因,后面的刹那是果,像水流一样,不断地产生,如果没有这样,那么事物就不能在很长的时间里显现和存在。那些词句的意思是,因为是从因产生的。如果像这样,已经产生了因所需要的东西就不会再产生,即使产生了也会在其他的时间之后消失,而不是立即消失,如果这样认为的话,

E. Because the nature of moments is the same, it is unreasonable for some moments to have causes and some moments to have no causes. Some people think that the cause that produces the first moment can also produce the subsequent moment. To show that this is unreasonable, it is said that it should not be produced by the same cause, because that cause has already been used. It means that the cause that produces the previous moment cannot produce the subsequent moment. Why? Because the cause that produces the previous moment has already produced its result and has disappeared, so the disappeared cause cannot produce the subsequent moment. Any cause that produces any result, and the disappeared cause cannot produce other results, is like a seed. For example, after a seed produces a sprout, the disappeared seed cannot be the cause of producing the subsequent trunk. The so-called "used up" means that the result has been achieved and has disappeared. If others think that the cause that produces the previous moment has already produced its result and has disappeared, so it cannot produce the subsequent moment, but the subsequent moment is produced by other causes. To show that this is also unreasonable, it is said that no other cause can be found either. Therefore, it must be recognized that the subsequent moment must be produced from the previous cause. It means that for the subsequent moment, there is also no cause seen to produce its cause. Therefore, it must be recognized that the previous moment is the cause, and the subsequent moment is the result, like a stream of water, constantly arising. To summarize the above, it is said that it cannot be like that, not continuously, but existing at other times. It means that, as mentioned above, the previous moment, the previous moment is the cause, and the subsequent moment is the result, like a stream of water, constantly arising. If it is not like this, then things cannot appear and exist for a long time. The meaning of those words is that because it is produced from a cause. If it is like this, what the cause needs has already been produced and will not be produced again, and even if it is produced, it will disappear after other times, not immediately. If you think like this,
