6.17

The above eight emptinesses use non-existence to refute existence; 'ultimate emptiness' uses existence to refute non-existence. 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.
