To seek wisdom and abandon folly—would that not be inverted? Moreover, wearying of birth-and-death to seek nirvāṇa, where suffering and bliss are not distinct—what is the use of seeking it? If the foolish person in birth-and-death has already attained nirvāṇa, the noble one's further seeking would be utterly false.' The proponent of supreme emptiness says: 'Conventional phenomena have delusion and awakening, where one seeks holiness and leaves behind the ordinary; but in the ultimate principle, where form is emptiness, how could there be any taking or leaving?' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.32) - [Next: 2.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.34) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710~en-mt.2.33) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1710.2.33) · Pramāṇa
