Now I clarify: the two wisdoms of emptiness and existence with grasping are both unable to eradicate; the two wisdoms of emptiness and existence without grasping are both able to eradicate. Yet, not two and yet two, the unfolding of the two wisdoms is different: expedient-real wisdom eradicates without eradicating, and real-wisdom expedient eradicates without eradicating. > > Question: Why is this so? > > Answer: Having dependence and attachment is the root of all afflictions; the dharmatā of real phenomena is the root of non-attachment. Because dharmatā has nothing to depend on, prajñā is born; prajñā is devoid of attachment, and therefore all delusions are purified; hence it is called eradication. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.29) - [Next: 5.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.31) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780~en-mt.5.30) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.30) · Pramāṇa
