### [4.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1788.4.38)

下第三通也。初總、次別。此總。以一切法皆無生故空。《掌珍論》云「無為無有實，不起似空華。」無為無有實，是宗。不起故，因。起者生。似空華者，喻。以本不生，故體非有。《解深密經》依三無性說一切法無生無滅本來寂靜。

> Below is the third, the resolution. First general, next specific. This is general. Because all dharmas are without arising, they are empty. The \*Karatala-ratna\* says: "The unconditioned has no reality; not arising, it resembles flowers in the sky." "The unconditioned has no reality" is the thesis. "Because of not arising" is the reason; "arising" means being produced. "Resembles flowers in the sky" is the metaphor. Because they do not arise originally, their essence is non-existent. The \*Saṃdhinirmocana-sūtra\*, relying upon the three naturelessnesses, states that all dharmas are unarisen, unceasing, and originally tranquil.
