Why is this? Because the intrinsic nature of all dharmas is true reality itself; without coming and without going, without arising and without ceasing, equal to the limit of reality, identical with dharmatā, without duality and without distinction, like open space; the characteristics of aggregates, sense fields, and realms are devoid of self and what belongs to self. This is the cultivation of Prajñāpāramitā by bodhisattva mahāsattvas." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.246.1.16) - [Next: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.246.1.18) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.246.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.246~en-mt.1.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1709.1.230) — Classical Chinese - [仁王般若經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1707.1.98) — Classical Chinese - [佛說仁王般若波羅蜜經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.245.1.10) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.246.1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.246.1.17) · Pramāṇa
