5.15

This refers to the non-Buddhists who calculate an annihilatory emptiness. Clinging to this state of being merely empty and devoid of anything as nirvāṇa and tathatā, they extinguish form to return to emptiness and attain the four formless concentrations, claiming, 'I have realized nirvāṇa and tathatā.' Because their view of a personal self remains, they exhaust emptiness without returning and then enter cyclic existence.
