English version: 'My own.' (That which belongs to me). Afflictions and karma (actions arising from afflictions). Five causes of emptiness (five reasons leading to the emptiness of the five skandhas). Still produces emptiness, non-self, and 'my own.' (still generates emptiness, non-self, and the concept of 'my own'). The law of seven bitter fruits (the principles leading to seven kinds of suffering). Those are non-self and 'my own.' (Those are without self and without 'my own'). Each other's hands are non-self and 'my own.' (Between each other, there is no self and no 'my own'). Although from the law of self-nature non-self (Although from the inherently selfless law), still arises the law of self-nature non-self (still arises the inherently selfless law). It should be known thus (It should be understood in this way). It should be spoken thus (And it should be spoken in this way). Herein it is asked (Here someone asks), 'From the law of self-nature non-self (From the inherently selfless law), still arises the law of self-nature non-self (still arises the inherently selfless law), what is the analogy?' (What is the analogy for this?) Herein it is answered (Here it is answered), recitation, lamp, mirror, and seal (recitation, lamp, mirror, and seal), fire, essence, seed, plum, and sound (fire, essence, seed, plum, and sound). Such are the analogies (Like these analogies), and by hypothetical analogies, establish self-nature non-self (and through hypothetical analogies, establish inherent selflessness), and the accomplishment of that world should be known (and the accomplishment of the next life should be known). For example, what is recited by the teacher (For example, what is recited by the teacher), if it is transferred to the disciple (if it is transmitted to the disciple), the teacher has no further speech (the teacher has no further speech afterward). Therefore, it does not completely transfer (Therefore, it is not completely the same). What is recited by the disciple (What is recited by the disciple), also does not come from elsewhere (also does not come from elsewhere), because there is no cause and effect (because there is no cause and effect). Like the teacher's recitation and the consciousness at the time of death (Like the teacher's recitation and the consciousness at the time of death), it is also thus (it is also like this). Because it becomes a constant fault (Because it becomes a constant fault), it does not go to another world (it does not go to another world). That world also does not come from elsewhere (That world also does not come from elsewhere), because there is no cause and effect (because there is no cause and effect). Like the teacher's recitation (Like the teacher's recitation), and the disciple's recitation (and the disciple's recitation), they are both the same and different (they are both the same and different). It is not easy to establish (It is difficult to determine). Likewise, relying on that consciousness at the time of death (Likewise, relying on that consciousness at the time of death), the consciousness of the next moment arises (the consciousness of the next moment arises), the one who obtains life (the one who obtains life), is also thus (is also like this). They are both the same and different (They are both the same and different). It is not easy to establish (It is difficult to determine). Like from a lamp, another lamp is lit (Like from a lamp, another lamp is lit), relying on the face (relying on the face), the image appears in the mirror (the image appears in the mirror), from the seal, writing is formed (from the seal, writing is formed), from friction, fire is produced (from friction, fire is produced), from the seed, a sprout grows (from the seed, a sprout grows), from the plum, saliva is produced (from the plum, saliva is produced), from the sound, an echo arises (from the sound, an echo arises), they are both the same and different (they are both the same and different). It is not easy to establish (It is difficult to determine). Thus (Like this), the continuity and combination of the skandhas (the continuity and combination of the five skandhas), without shifting, wisdom should observe (without shifting, wisdom should observe). What is meant by 'skandhas' (What is meant by 'skandhas'), is the skandha of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness (is the skandha of form, feeling, perception, volition, and consciousness). What is meant by 'continuity and combination' (What is meant by 'continuity and combination'), they have already arisen from that cause (they have already arisen from that cause), the remaining parts that are produced are this (the remaining parts that are produced are this). There are no ultimate particles or similar dharmas (There are no ultimate particles or similar dharmas), from this world (from this world), transferring to another world (transferring to another world). Therefore, there is transmigration (Therefore, there is transmigration). It arises from the habitual tendencies of false discrimination (It arises from the habitual tendencies of false discrimination). The later word 'should' (The later word 'should'), is reverse observation (is reverse observation), the meaning should be understood as the opposite (the meaning should be understood as the opposite). They should observe that all dharmas are impermanent, suffering, empty, and without self (They should observe that all dharmas are impermanent, suffering, empty, and without self), then they will not be ignorant of all things (then they will not be ignorant of all things). If they do not encounter this (If they do not encounter this), then there will be no greed (then there will be no greed). If there is no greed and hatred, then they will not arise (If there is no greed and hatred, then they will not arise). If there is no hatred, then there is no karma (If there is no hatred, then there is no karma). If there is no karma (If there is no karma), then there is no grasping (then there is no grasping). If there is no grasping (If there is no grasping), then future existence is not created (then future existence is not created). If there are none of these, then they will not arise (If there are none of these, then they will not arise). If (If) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

不生者。即于身心而苦不生。如是不集五种因故。即相余处。而果不生。此果解脱。是故断除。断常等诸恶见也。此中有二讼。 于甚微细事 若有见断者 彼不善因缘 未见缘生义 此中无可见 亦无少安立 于真以观真 见真如解脱 因缘心论释一卷 现代汉语译本: ‘不生者’,指的是对于身心而言,痛苦不会产生。像这样不聚集五种原因,那么在其他地方,结果也不会产生。这种结果是解脱,因此应当断除。断除断见、常见等各种错误的见解。这里面有两种争论。 ‘对于极其微小的事情,如果有人认为可以断除,那么他就是不善的因缘,没有见到缘起的意义。’ ‘这里面没有什么可见的,也没有丝毫可以安立的。以真理来观察真理,见到真理就能获得解脱。’ 《因缘心论释》一卷

English version: 'Non-arising' means that suffering does not arise in relation to body and mind. Just as the five causes are not assembled, so the result does not arise elsewhere. This result is liberation, therefore it should be eliminated. Eliminate wrong views such as annihilationism (断见, duàn jiàn) and eternalism (常见, cháng jiàn). There are two disputes here. 'If someone sees that even the most subtle things can be cut off, then that is an unwholesome condition, and they have not seen the meaning of dependent origination (缘生, yuán shēng).' 'There is nothing to be seen here, nor is there anything to be established. Observe truth with truth, and seeing truth leads to liberation.'
