yāna, what is the summary lakṣaṇa of śūnyatā, which bodhisattvas, having realized, will not fall away from because they lack conceit regarding the lakṣaṇa of śūnyatā?' / Then the Bhagavān praised the bodhisattva Maitreya, saying, 'Excellent! Maitreya, it is excellent, excellent that you ask the Tathāgata about this meaning so that bodhisattvas will not fall away from śūnyatā. Why is that? Maitreya, because if a bodhisattva falls away from śūnyatā, he falls away from the entire Mahāyāna. Therefore, Maitreya, listen, and I will explain to you the summary lakṣaṇa of śūnyatā. Maitreya, that the paratantralakṣaṇa and the pariniṣpannalakṣaṇa are entirely devoid of the parikalpitalakṣaṇa of affliction and purification, and the observation of that in that regard—this is called the teaching on the lakṣaṇa of śūnyatā in the Mahāyāna.' / 'Bhagavān, how many samādhis are subsumed within śamatha and vipaśyanā?' / He replied: 'Maitreya, all the various samādhis of the śrāvakas, bodhisattvas, and Tathāgatas that I have taught should be known to be subsumed [therein].' / 'Bhagavān, from what cause do śamatha and vipaśyanā arise?' / 'Maitreya, they arise from the cause of pure morality and from the cause of pure view arisen from hearing and contemplation.' / 'Bhagavān, what should be said to be their result?' / 'Maitreya, a purified mind is the result; purified prajñā is the result. Furthermore, Maitreya, all mundane and supramundane wholesome dharmas of śrāvakas, bodhisattvas, or Tathāgatas
