19.441

若言無眾緣生性故說無自性性者，便是惡取空也。故瑜伽第七十五卷云：復次於大乘中，或有一類惡取空作如是言：由世俗故，一切皆有；由勝義故，一切皆無。應告彼言：長老！何者世俗何者勝義，如是問已。彼若答云：若一切法皆無自性，是名勝義；若於諸法無自性中，自性可得，是名世俗。何以故？無所有中建立世俗，假設名言而起言說。應告彼曰：汝何所欲？名言世俗，為從因有自性可得？為唯名言，世俗說有？若名言世俗從因有者，名言世俗從因而生，而非是有，不應道理。若唯名言世俗說有，名言世俗無事而有，不應道理。又應告言：長老！何緣諸可得者，此無自性？如是問已。彼若答言：顛倒事故。復應告言：汝何所欲？此顛倒事，為有為無？若言有者，說一切法由勝義故彼無自性，不應道理。

If one says that because they lack the nature of arising from multiple conditions they are spoken of as having no intrinsic nature, that is indeed ill-conceived emptiness. Therefore, the seventy-fifth fascicle of the Yogācārabhūmiśāstra states: 'Furthermore, in the Mahāyāna, there may be a class who ill-conceive emptiness and speak thus: "By virtue of the conventional, everything exists; by virtue of the ultimate, everything does not exist." One should say to them: "Venerable ones! What is conventional and what is ultimate?" Having asked this, if they answer: "If all dharmas have no intrinsic nature, that is called the ultimate; if among all dharmas that have no intrinsic nature an intrinsic nature can be found, that is called the conventional. Why is this? Within nonexistence one establishes the conventional, provisionally positing names and words to give rise to discourse." One should say to them: "What do you think? Does nominal convention obtain an intrinsic nature from causes? Or is it merely by nominal convention that it is said to exist? If nominal convention exists from causes, then nominal convention arises from causes and yet does not exist; this is unreasonable. If it is only by nominal convention that it is said to exist, nominal convention existing without any referent is unreasonable." Furthermore, one should say to them: "Venerable ones! For what reason are all those that can be obtained devoid of intrinsic nature?" Having asked this, if they answer: "Because of inverted affairs." One should again say to them: "What do you think? Does this inverted affair exist or not exist? If you say it exists, stating that all dharmas, by virtue of the ultimate, are devoid of intrinsic nature is unreasonable."'
