Emptiness is not identical to form, because emptiness is identical to form. Why is this? Because the principle of emptiness is not blue and yellow; therefore it is said that emptiness is not identical to form. Yet, true emptiness that is not blue and yellow must not be different from blue and yellow; therefore it is said that emptiness is identical to form. It is precisely because it is not different from blue and yellow that it is not identical to blue and yellow; therefore it is said that emptiness being identical to form is not identical to form." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.33](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.1.33) - [Next: 1.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.1.35) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883~en-mt.1.34) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [華嚴發菩提心章](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1878.1.80) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.1.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1883.1.34) · Pramāṇa
