Non-existent-and-existent-dharma emptiness: grasping at the characteristics of non-existent dharmas and existent dharmas is unapprehendable, hence it is called non-existent-and-existent-dharma emptiness. Also, because one contemplates that non-existent and existent dharmas are empty, it is called non-existent-and-existent-dharma emptiness. Someone explains: past, future, and present are all empty, therefore it is called non-existent-and-existent-dharma emptiness. - [Previous: 3.57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.57) - [Next: 3.59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.59) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3) ## Linked texts (1) - [法界次第初門](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.3.58) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.58](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.3.58) · Pramāṇa
