<span class=TibUni18>མེད་པ་ཁོ་ན་ཉེ་བར་བསྟན།</span><br>

[[dmigs pa]] [[yod par]] [[ga la 'gyur]]//<br>

<span class=TibUni18>འགག་པ་འཐད་པར་མི་འགྱུར་རོ།</span><br>

[['gags]] [[na]] [[rkyen]] [[yang]] [[gang zhig]] [[yin]]//<br>
 
9. If phenomena are not born, it is invalid for there to be cessation. Therefore, an immediate [condition] is unreasonable. What, having ceased, can also be a condition?

<span class=TibUni18>དངོས་པོ་རང་བཞིན་མེད་རྣམས་ཀྱི།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>ཡོད་པ་གང་ཕྱིར་ཡོད་མིན་ན།</span><br>

10. [[dngos po]] [[rang bzhin med]] [[rnams]] [[kyi]]/<br>
[[yod pa]] [[gang phyir]] [[yod min]] [[na]]/<br>
[['di]] [[yod pas]] [[na]] [['di]] [['byung]] [[zhes]]/<br>
[[bya ba]] [['di ni]] [['thad ma yin]]//<br>
 
10. Because the existence of essence-less things does not exist, it is incorrect to say:"When this exists, that arises."

<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་རྣམས་སོ་སོ་འདུས་པ་ལ།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>འབྲས་བུ་དེ་ནི་མེད་པ་ཉིད།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་རྣམས་ལ་ནི་གང་མེད་པ།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>དེ་ནི་རྐྱེན་ལས་ཅི་ལྟར་སྐྱེ།།</span><br>

[[de ni]] [[rkyen las]] [[ci ltar]] [[skye]]//<br>
 
11. There is no effect at all in the conditions individually or together. How can that which is not in the conditions itself be born from conditions?
 
________________________________
 
 
<span class=TibUni18>ཅི་སྟེ་འབྲས་བུ་དེ་མེད་ཀྱང།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་དེ་དག་ལས་སྐྱེ་འགྱུར་ན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་མིན་ལས་ཀྱང་འབྲས་བུ་ནི།</span><br>

[[rkyen]] [[min]] [[las kyang]] [['bras bu]] [[ni]]/<br>
[[ci yi phyir]] [[na]] [[skye]] [[mi 'gyur]]//<br>
 
12. If, although the effect is not there, it is born from those conditions, why is an effect not born from what are not its conditions?
 
________________________________
 
 
<span class=TibUni18>འབྲས་བུ་རྐྱེན་གྱི་རང་བཞིན་ནི།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་རྣམས་བདག་གི་རང་བཞིན་མིན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>བདག་དངོས་མིན་ལས་འབྲས་བུ་གང།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>དེ་ནི་ཅི་ལྟར་རྐྱེན་རང་བཞིན།།</span><br>
 
13. [['bras bu]] [[rkyen]] [[gyi]] [[rang bzhin]] [[ni]]/<br>

[[bdag dngos]] [[min]] [[las 'bras bu]] [[gang]]/<br>
[[de ni]] [[ci ltar]] [[rkyen]] [[rang bzhin]]//<br>
 
13. Effects [are of] the nature of conditions. Conditions do not have own nature. How can those effects of what does not have own nature [be of] the nature of conditions?

<span class=TibUni18>དེ་ཕྱིར་རྐྱེན་གྱི་རང་བཞིན་མིན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་མིན་རང་བཞིན་འབྲས་བུ་ནི།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>ཡོད་མིན་འབྲས་བུ་མེད་བས་ན།</span><br>
 
<span class=TibUni18>རྐྱེན་མིན་རྐྱེན་དུ་ག་ལ་འགྱུར།།</span><br>
 
14. [[de phyir]] [[rkyen]] [[gyi]] [[rang bzhin]] [[min]]/<br>

[[yod min]] [['bras bu]] [[med]] [[bas na]]/<br>
[[rkyen]] [[min]] [[rkyen]] [[du]] [[ga]] [[la]] [['gyur]]//<br>
 
14. Therefore, [it does] not have the nature of conditions, nor is there an effect with the nature of non-conditions. Since there is no effect, what could [be its] non-conditions or conditions?
