Alternatively, this passage resolves doubt: upon hearing of true emptiness above, a doubter would suppose that the true essence and the virtues numerous as the sands of the Ganges are negated. Now it is explained, as can be understood from the text, which clarifies that emptiness is not different from non-emptiness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.70) - [Next: 2.72](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.72) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846~en-mt.2.71) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.71) · Pramāṇa
