"That which, taken as causal or dependent, is the process of being born and passing away, is, taken non-causally and beyond all dependence, declared to be nirvana."
Nagarjuna, Buddhist


"As long as one persists in the belief in causality she will find the working of cause and effect. But when attachment to causality vanishes, cause and effect become nonexistent."
Gaudapada, Advaitin

no dissolution; no production;
no destruction; no eternity;
no unity; no manifoldness;
no going out; no coming in.
(The 8 'negations' of Nagarjuna)
