This is merely an initial, provisional remark. The Pañcaviṃśati states: 'Permanently empty of nature; there is no time when it is not empty of nature; clearly understanding that all dharmas are like an illusion, a conjuration, the moon in water, or an image in a mirror'—how could it merely be that marks are empty! > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.120](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.120) - [Next: 8.122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.122) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.8.121) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.121](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.8.121) · Pramāṇa
