"All dharmas... up to... arise from conceptualization": third, clarifying the understanding of the provisionality of relativity. Entering emptiness through relativity is of two kinds: first, at different times; second, at the same time. Here it concerns different times, and thus it says, "up to not abiding for even a single thought-moment." Examining through the four propositions, nothing is to be found, and one thus enters emptiness; to speak of relativity is entirely a false view. Furthermore, from "all dharmas" down, it is perhaps a general metaphor for the three provisionalities constituting all dharmas, which are all non-existent; yet discerning the arising of all dharmas is entirely a false view, and thus it says they arise from false conceptualization like a dream, a mirage, or the moon in the water. Understanding provisionality as emptiness, false conceptualization does not arise; since the mind is without transgression, it is pure, and therefore Vimalakīrti says that one should directly eradicate [them].
