The arising of a name, as an arising, is non-arising. This word does not exist internally, externally, or in between, nor does it eternally exist of itself; this word is completely nonexistent. Seeking intrinsic nature and finding it unobtainable is the refutation of intrinsic nature by worldly truth, which is called 'emptiness of nature.' Seeking a name and finding it unobtainable is the refutation of the provisional by ultimate truth, which is called 'emptiness of characteristics.' Furthermore, within these natures and characteristics, seeking the aggregates, sense fields, and realms is unobtainable, which is 'emptiness of dharmas'; within natures and characteristics, seeking a person, self, knower, or seer is unobtainable, which is called 'emptiness of sentient beings'; extending even to performing the eighteen emptinesses, as explained before. This is called 'entering emptiness from the provisional,' wherein the wisdom eye opens and sees the ultimate truth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 5.244](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.244) - [Next: 5.246](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.246) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.5.245) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.245](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.5.245) · Pramāṇa
