the antimetaphysics of baizhang (pai-chang)

If you cling to some fundamental purity or liberation…
the false idea of naturalism.

If you cling to the idea of self or things existence…
the false idea of eternalism.

If you cling to the self or things non-existence…
the false idea of nihilism.

If you cling to the twin concepts of existence and non-existence…
the false idea of partiality.

If you cling to a concept that things do not exist and also do not not exist…
the false idea of emptiness.

One should only practice in the present…
without views about views, which is called the correct view.
