3.34

Harmonizing past provisional teachings, he re-clarifies that matter and space are non-dual. This means that previously, to refute non-Buddhists who clung to the existence of a self, he taught that derived matter arises from the great elements, with each possessing distinct individual characteristics. However, having implicitly shown that the nature of derived matter is identical to space, there is no other distinct matter abiding in space; thus he says 'they do not abide.' Yet it is not that there is no space for them.
