1.119

問:空與空空有何等異?答:空破五陰,空空破空。如服藥能破病,病破已藥亦應出,若藥不出即復是病。以空滅諸煩惱病,恐空復為患,是故以空捨空,故名空空也。

Question: What is the difference between emptiness and the emptiness of emptiness? Answer: Emptiness shatters the five aggregates; the emptiness of emptiness shatters emptiness. Just as taking medicine can cure disease, once the disease is cured the medicine should also be expelled; if the medicine is not expelled, it becomes a disease again. Using emptiness to eliminate the diseases of all defilements, fearing that emptiness may again become an affliction, one therefore abandons emptiness with emptiness; hence it is called the emptiness of emptiness.
