Answer: As for not clinging to emptiness, there are altogether two meanings. First, prajñā illuminates dharmatā; since dharmatā has nothing upon which to rely, prajñā likewise has nothing to cling to. This is the power of prajñā. Second, not realizing emptiness is called not clinging; this is the power of upāya. As for not clinging to existence, this also possesses two meanings. First, prajñā enters emptiness; therefore it is said not to cling to existence. Second, upāya is guided by prajñā; therefore it can engage existence without clinging, which is the power of prajñā. Therefore in the sūtras it is sometimes said that prajñā does not cling to emptiness and upāya does not cling to existence, and sometimes said that prajñā does not cling to existence and upāya does not realize emptiness. Each raises one aspect; in meaning there is no duality. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.5) - [Next: 5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.7) - [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.5.6) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1780.5.6) · Pramāṇa
