That there is 'Maitreya' is also a conventional designation. Suchness, intrinsic nature, and the original limit are also conventional designations. The Tathāgata's rūpakāya is itself an empty characteristic, the characteristics are themselves empty, beginning and end are beginning-and-end empty, this and that are this-and-that empty. How do you yourself know the prophecy called 'Maitreya'?" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.1.41) - [Next: 1.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.1.43) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384~en-mt.1.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.1.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.384.1.42) · Pramāṇa
