Because the true characteristic is devoid of characteristics, it cannot be seen. If discussed in terms of the function of illumination, its characteristics pervade the dharmadhātu. Through the characteristic of non-characteristic, it can also be seen. Furthermore, the five eyes completely illuminate the principle of the three truths, and all objects are distinct. Although it is called penetrating illumination, it is not necessarily existent. Although it is called not seeing, it is not necessarily non-existent. This is indeed the characteristic of non-characteristic, the observation of non-observation. One should know that within characteristics there are no characteristics—simply do not form characteristics. Within observation there is no observation—simply do not observe. Experiencing the myriad things as inherently empty, they are identical in the purity of the one Way. How could this be the same as grasping at reality and following dust, producing views of subject and object, annihilation and permanence? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 80.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.80.34) - [Next: 80.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.80.36) - [Up: 80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.80) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.80.35) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.80.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.80.35) · Pramāṇa
