The defense].—[9. Simultaneous Teaching of Existence and Non-existence].—[...] Moreover, there are people whose spiritual faculties, faith, etc. are not yet ripe (paripakva) and who first seek perceptible (upalabdha) [benefits] and later abandon them. For these people the Buddha advises [the accumulation] of good dharmas and the rejection of bad dharmas. By contrast, there are people whose spiritual faculties, faith, etc. are already ripe (paripakva) and who seek no perceptible [benefit] (upalabdha) in dharmas; they seek only to avoid the Samsaric destinies. For these people the Buddha teaches emptiness (śūnyatā) and the non-existence (anupalabhdhitā) of dharmas. [...]”.
