"The two views of body and extremes arise only in the locus of the result," and so forth: this explains the meaning that the two views are deluded only about suffering. Namely, being deluded about suffering has two causes: First, the mental aspects of the two views of body and extremes are coarse and shallow, not being intensely investigative, and therefore they arise only in the locus of the result. Second, specific emptiness and non-self belong to the truth of suffering. Emptiness and non-self have general and specific [senses]. The general sense is that all four truths are empty: because they are not self and not mine, they are called empty; because they are all without self, they are called non-self. The specific sense is that the contaminated five aggregates of the truth of suffering are called non-self because their nature is not self; because they are not mine, they are spoken of as empty. The view of body is specifically deluded about the emptiness and non-self of the contaminated five aggregates, and therefore grasps a self and what belongs to self. The view of extremes is specifically deluded about the contaminated five aggregates, grasping permanence or annihilation in contradiction to their arising and ceasing. Therefore, these two views are deluded only about the truth of suffering.
