He is named "Inexhaustible" because it is neither exhaustible nor inexhaustible; in contrast to the Hīnayāna, which is called "exhaustible," it is called "inexhaustible." The Hīnayāna explains "exhaustion" in contrast to the knowledge of exhaustion and the knowledge of non-arising, which extinguish form and grasp emptiness; therefore it is named "inexhaustible." Furthermore, why "inexhaustible"? Because emptiness cannot be exhausted, conventionality cannot be exhausted, and the middle cannot be exhausted, it is therefore called "inexhaustible." The Dapin jing says: "Form itself is emptiness, not that form is extinguished to become emptiness." Because it is empty, it is inexhaustible. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.1.4) - [Next: 1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.1.6) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728~en-mt.1.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1728.1.5) · Pramāṇa
