the doctrine of dependent origination,

according to which there is

Whatever is dependently arisen is

yah prattyasamutpdam

neither cessation nor origination,

neither annihilation nor the eternal,
neither singularity nor plurality,
neither the coming nor the going [of
any dharma,

Unceasing, unborn,
Unannihilated, not permanent,
Not coming, not going,
Without distinction, without identity,

cessation of hypostatization.
1. Not from itself, not from another,
not from both, nor without cause:

And free from conceptual

construction.

Never in any way is there any

existing thing that has arisen.
2. The intrinsic nature of existents
does not exist in the conditions,
etc.

Does anything whatever, anywhere

arise.
3. The essence of entities
Is not present in the conditions, etc

Nunca e de forma alguma h qualquer

coisa existente que tenha surgido.

The intrinsic nature not occurring,

neither is extrinsic nature
found.

If there is no [own] essence,

There can be no otherness-essence.

A natureza intrnseca no ocorrendo,

tambm a natureza extrnseca no
encontrada.

[The opponent:] There are four

conditions: the primary cause, the
objective support, the proximate
condition,
and of course the dominant condition;
there is no fifth condition.

2. There are four conditions: efficient

condition;
Percept-object condition; immediate
condition;
Dominant condition, just so.
There is no fifth condition.
