The first says that the understanding of emptiness is the primary vehicle, and the understanding of existence is an accompaniment. For example, in the ten bhūmis the understanding of emptiness is the source capable of producing, and the understanding of existence is what is produced upon the bhūmis. The second interpretation says: the meaning of the bhūmis is as before; if the vehicle takes the meaning of transporting, then both understandings are capable of transporting. What is now clarified takes the correct contemplation of the middle way as the vehicle's substance; only when the correct contemplation of the middle way is neither empty nor existent can it depart from the two views of existence and non-existence. Therefore, both emptiness and existence are the vehicle's expedient functions. The meaning of the bhūmis is also like this. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.4.82) - [Next: 4.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.4.84) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720~en-mt.4.83) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.4.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.4.83) · Pramāṇa
