Question: If merit is much because its nature is empty, previously it was said that the nature of deluded mind is empty, so delusions should also be many. Answer: Merit has Buddha-wisdom as its basis and accords with the emptiness of nature; thus when awakening to the emptiness of nature, merit is very great. Mental consciousness is inverted and contrary to the emptiness of nature; thus when awakening to the emptiness of nature, mental consciousness is entirely exhausted. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.158](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701.2.158) - [Next: 2.160](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701.2.160) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701~en-mt.2.159) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701.2.159](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1701.2.159) · Pramāṇa
