Fifteenth
you should also understand that although it is not void of itself, it is void of others, and through having become mindful again and again of this unique profound essential of quintessential instructions that also explain well the many occasions of non-establishment, purity, intensive purity, thorough purity, ceasedness, cessation, extinction, separation, intensive separation, purity, abandonment, and so forth, you will understand well:
- the meaning of the emptiness of its own entity and the emptiness of other entities.
- the meaning of empty emptiness and non-empty emptiness
- the meaning of the emptiness of non-entities and the emptiness that is the [ultimate] nature of non-entities [that is, emptiness that is the ultimate nature opposite from non-entities]
- the mere emptiness of the phenomenon that is the object negated and the emptiness that has many synonyms such as basis of emptiness, noumenon, thusness, and so forth.
Similarly, with respect to the statements:
Knowledge-of-all is empty of knowledge-of-all; knowledge-of-the-path is empty of knowledge-of-the-path; exalted-knowledge-of-all-aspects is empty of exalted-knowledge-of-all-aspects.
and so forth, it is necessary to realise well the modes of:
- self-emptiness-emptiness of non-entities
- other-emptiness-emptiness that is the [ultimate] nature of non-entities [that is, emptiness that is the ultimate nature opposite from non-entities].
Concerning those, if you know the division of the two truths with respect to knowledge-of-all, knowledge-of-the-path, exalted-knowledge-of-all-aspects, the fearlessnesses, individual correct knowledge, unshared buddha-attributes, buddha, enlightenment, bodhisattva, and so forth, you will not be obscured with regard to
the subduer’s word.
About those:
- Because the ultimate ten powers and so forth are noumenal bases of emptiness, the uncompounded basic element itself, they are final true cessations.
- Because conventional ten powers and so forth are included in impermanent true paths, they are self-empty.
Those abide in fact; consequently, it is to be known that:
There is not the slightest contradiction in teaching that those that abide as self-empty are self-empty.
