1.56

Since it is neither extinguishing rūpa nor preserving rūpa, being neither identical nor separate, it is therefore true emptiness. Emptiness is not the characteristics of rūpa, so there is no imagined [nature]. Dependent origination lacks svabhāva, and the true principle devoid of svabhāva is precisely the consummate [nature]. The ancients said: "When rūpa departs, it leaves behind no emptiness; emptiness does not abide on the side of existence."
