Therefore, the Abhidharma attains the path by seeing existence, while the \*Tattvasiddhi\* (\*Chengshi\*) becomes a noble one by verifying emptiness; these differences are all based on the teachings of the two emptinesses. Now, in order to distinguish the differences among those who cultivate the four noble truths and sixteen aspects, the twofold emptiness of persons and dharmas is explained next. 'Emptiness' is universally spoken of because emptiness has the meaning of nonexistence: the nonexistence of these two kinds of existence—sentient beings and dharmas—is therefore called 'emptiness'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.138) - [Next: 2.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.140) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.2.139) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.139) · Pramāṇa
