Seventh: conditioned emptiness. Conditioned emptiness: conditioned dharmas are called that which is born of the conjunction of causes and conditions, namely the five skandhas, twelve āyatanas, eighteen dhātus, and so forth. Now conditioned dharmas are empty due to two causes and conditions: first, because a self, what belongs to self, and permanent, unchanging characteristics are unapprehendable, they are empty; second, as for conditioned dharmas, the characteristics of conditioned dharmas are empty, being unproduced, unceasing, and non-existent; this is conditioned emptiness.
