“All philosophies are mental fabrications.
\nThere has never been a single doctrine by which one could enter the true essence of things.
\nAll the dogmatists have been terrified by the lion’s roar of shunyata.
\nWherever they may reside, shunyata lies in wait.”<\/p>\n

12. By a misperception of emptiness
\nA person of little intelligence is destroyed.
\nLike a snake incorrectly seized
\nOr like a spell incorrectly cast.<\/p>\n

13. For that reason\u2014that the Dharma is
\nDeep and difficult to understand and to learn\u2014
\nThe Buddha\u2019s mind despaired of
\nBeing able to teach it.<\/p>\n

14. Whatever is dependently co-arisen
\nThat is explained to be emptiness.
\nThat, being a dependent designation,
\nIs itself the middle way.<\/p>\n

15. Something that is not dependently arisen,
\nSuch a thing does not exist.
\nTherefore a nonempty thing
\nDoes not exist.<\/p>\n

16. For him to whom emptiness is clear,
\nEverything becomes clear.
\nFor him to whom emptiness is not clear,
\nNothing becomes clear.<\/p>\n
