The cycle of birth and death, the agent, and karma should also be understood in this way. All karmas are empty and devoid of intrinsic nature, like an illusion, like a dream. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 67.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.67.22) - [Next: 67.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.67.24) - [Up: 67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.67) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.67.23) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.67.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.67.23) · Pramāṇa
