Second, the fault of destroying ultimate truth, because if one does not integrate form into emptiness, there would be no true emptiness. If emptiness is not identical with form, there are likewise two faults: First, the fault of destroying ultimate truth, because nihilistic emptiness outside of form is a principle that is not real. Second, the fault of destroying conventional truth, because if emptiness is not illusory form, [form] would have nothing to rely upon.
