2.140

一、眾生空。若觀生死苦果,但見名、色、陰、入、界實法從因緣生,新新生滅。是實法中空,無我、人、眾生、壽者等十六知見,如龜毛兔角畢竟不可得,是為眾生空也。

First is the emptiness of sentient beings. When contemplating the painful fruits of birth and death, one sees only the real dharmas of name-and-form, skandhas, āyatanas, and dhātus arising from causes and conditions, being newly born and extinguished moment by moment. Within these real dharmas it is empty, without a self, person, sentient being, living soul, or any of the sixteen views and notions; like turtle hair or rabbit horns, they are completely unattainable. This is the emptiness of sentient beings.
