The first is empty in accordance with reality, because it can ultimately reveal the real. The second is non-empty in accordance with reality, because it possesses an intrinsic essence endowed with uncontaminated nature-virtues. (Commentary: This opens the section to explain briefly. "In accordance with reality" means that the true essence is not nonexistent. What is called "empty" means that the true essence is devoid of delusion. "Ultimately revealing the real" means that by being free of \[delusion\] it to the utmost reveals the real; because it is devoid of delusion, it can to the utmost reveal the real, and therefore being in accordance with reality is called "empty." Question: What is "to the utmost"? Just as when water is clear, pebbles show forth, and none of the dusty realms abide—this is called "revealing to the utmost." "Non-empty" means it is essence and marks. As for these nature-virtues being called "uncontaminated," it is because they are free of severance, cessation, and the outflows of thought. This means that, in accordance with reality, it possesses its intrinsic essence and nature-virtues, and is therefore called "non-empty.") > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.12) - [Next: 1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.14) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815~en-mt.1.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.24.55) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.56) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.64) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.13) · Pramāṇa
