That is, "all included among sentient beings in the realm of sentient beings" means those included among non-sentient-beings and semblance sentient beings. Question: Why say "semblance"? Answer: The sūtra says "one cannot use semblance to resemble," hence it is called semblance; thus semblance does not hinder non-existence. Question: If so, sentient beings are empty; what then is included? Answer: Simply because this is emptiness of emptiness, it is included within the conceptual differentiation of sentient beings, and therefore inclusion is distinguished; if inclusion were not manifested, the understanding would not be clear and pure. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.23) - [Next: 1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.25) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704~en-mt.1.24) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [Fragment from Afghanistan (Bamiyan/Schøyen)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.vajracchedika*afghanistan.4) — Sanskrit - [འཕགས་པ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་རྡོ་རྗེ་གཅོད་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.vajracchedika*bo.2) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1704.1.24) · Pramāṇa
