(Commentary: Below this is the general summary. Within this there are two parts: first, summarizing along with the preceding meaning; next, summarizing in reverse to resolve doubts. This is the first. Deluded defilements are as numerous as sands of dust and difficult to enumerate exhaustively; now it speaks in brief summary: because no deluded mind defiles or touches it, it is spoken of as empty. Reply: "Deluded defilements as sands of dust" means that delusory marks are like grains of dust and sand, a multitude that cannot be exhaustively enumerated. Now it speaks in brief summary: because no deluded mind defiles or touches it, it is spoken of as empty. "Empty" receives its name by expressing \[freedom from\] delusion.) > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.15) - [Next: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.17) - [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.1.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (5) - [大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.24.56) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論義記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1846.2.68) — Classical Chinese - [釋摩訶衍論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1668.2.35) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論略述](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2813.1.67) — Classical Chinese - [大乘起信論](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.darsana.yogacara.mahayanasraddhotpadasastra*zh-paramartha.1.21) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2815.1.16) · Pramāṇa
