般若波羅蜜多心經幽贊 2.25

2.25

The commentary says: The proponent of supreme emptiness says: 'Sentient beings are established through phenomena, and phenomena are indeed the cause of sentient beings; here, pudgala-nairātmya is expounded extensively, and dharma-nairātmya is revealed later.' The proponent of conforming [teaching] says: 'Below, the name of the capable respondent is set forth, stating the principle and presenting a metaphor, to demonstrate those supreme practices and eliminate the four points.' There are three thematic sections: first, 'Śāriputra' and so forth generally addresses [him] to reveal emptiness; next, 'therefore' and so forth specifically concludes what is emptied; finally, 'because of having no attainment' explains and establishes the principle of emptiness.
