In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Anupalabdhi (अनुपलब्धि) refers to “vanishing”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 41).—Accordingly, “[According to the Sautrāntika].—If the past, the future and the present existed, what could there not be? But the Buddha preached the four truths (catuḥsatya) and, in the truth of suffering (duḥkhasatya), he saw the aspects of impermanence, etc. (anityādyākāra). Impermanence (anityatā) is death after birth, ruin (vipariṇāma), vanishing (anupalabdhi). If past dharmas existed actually in truth, there would no longer be impermanence, ruin, vanishing. Moreover, [to claim] that the past, future and present exist is to fall into eternalism (śāśvatadṛṣṭi). Why? If the dharma exists in the future, it necessarily exists in the present and from the present it goes into the past. If a man were to leave one house to enter another, we would not say that he has disappeared”.
