1.26

The statement "depending on verbal discrimination, there are two meanings" refers to "truly empty" and "truly not empty." Yet the second passage also states that "all discriminations do not correspond"; one should know that all verbal explanations also do not correspond. This then shows that principle transcends speech and cuts off thought. Furthermore, in the first passage, only by relying on the words that "discard words by relying on words" can it reveal that its principle transcends words; this also shows that principle is not separate from the characteristics of speech.
