It designates the preceding eight emptinesses as the ultimate truth: all dharmas are empty yet constantly existent, hence they are not definitively non-existent; because they are not definitively non-existent, there is no self-nature of the ultimate truth that can be apprehended; therefore it is called ultimate emptiness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 6.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.16) - [Next: 6.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.18) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764~en-mt.6.17) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1764.6.17) · Pramāṇa
