Where birth and death are severed, nirvāṇa is empty; where nirvāṇa is empty, there is grit in the eye. Since nirvāṇa is already empty, what do you call grit in the eye? / White clouds may easily drift across the green peaks, / But the bright moon cannot be made to drop from the blue sky." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.2.4) - [Next: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.2.6) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a~en-mt.2.5) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1998a.2.5) · Pramāṇa
