Fourth: emptiness of emptiness. Emptiness of emptiness means using emptiness to dismantle internal and external emptiness. The dismantling of internal and external emptiness is these three emptinesses, therefore it is called emptiness of emptiness. Thus the Vimalakīrti-sūtra says: 'Having attained this Dharma, there is no other illness, only the illness of emptiness.' The illness of emptiness is also empty, hence it is called emptiness of emptiness.
