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. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.139) - [Next: 2.141](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.141) - [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.2.140) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.140](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.2.140) · Pramāṇa
