As for the gate of emptiness, going beyond the truth of the two vehicles, one separately discusses ultimate emptiness; up to the gate of neither existence nor non-existence, it is also like this. These are the characteristics of the four distinctive gates. If existence is taken as a gate, the very existence of birth and death is the existence of the real mark; all dharmas converge in existence, existence is itself the dharma realm, and beyond the dharma realm there is no other dharma to discuss; birth and death is itself nirvāṇa, nirvāṇa is itself birth and death, without duality or difference, merely raising existence as the starting point of the gate; it truly possesses all dharmas, perfectly penetrating without obstruction—this is called the gate of existence. The other three gates are also like this; these very dharmas of birth and death are the characteristics of the four perfect gates. Furthermore, 'identical to dharmas' has pervasive and non-pervasive aspects, distinguishing the perfect and distinctive characteristics, differentiated by analogy with the preceding (and so forth), in terms of whether the five entrenchments are pervasive or non-pervasive. Furthermore, whether being identical to dharmas or not identical to dharmas occurs earlier or later distinguishes the distinctive and perfect characteristics, as differentiated before (and so forth). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.10) - [Next: 9.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.12) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.9.11) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.11) · Pramāṇa
