Great emptiness means that the characteristics of the ten directions are empty, hence it is called great emptiness. Why is this? The eastern direction is called great because it is boundless, is called great because it is present in all places, and is called great because it pervades all forms; since such great directions can be dismantled, it is called great emptiness. This is also the case for south, west, north, the four intermediate directions, above, and below. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.44) - [Next: 3.46](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.46) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.45) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大智度論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.prajnaparamita.pancavimsatisahasrika!mahaprajnaparamitopadesa*zh-kumarajiva.31.133) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.45](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.45) · Pramāṇa
