In this there are two: first, explaining that empty space is not permanent, pervasive, and existent; next, revealing that the dharmakāya is non-existent, pervasive, and permanent. In the first there are also three: first, establishing; next, explaining; finally, concluding. This is the first. Explaining that the mark of empty space is a delusive dharma clarifies that it exists according to sentiment: hearing the name "emptiness," in accordance with discrimination there is the mark of empty space. "Its essence is not unreal" reveals that it is absent in terms of principle: like sky-flowers, although existing according to sentiment, it is absent according to principle. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.95) - [Next: 2.97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.97) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813~en-mt.2.96) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大乘起信論廣釋卷第三．四．五](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2814.4.119) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.2.96) · Pramāṇa
