The Diamond Sutra<br />

“…what the Tahtāgata<br />

has called the<br />

Prajñāpāramit<br />

ramitā is not, in fact, the<br />

Prajñāpāramit<br />

ramitā, and therefore it is called<br />

Prajñāpāramit<br />

ramitā.”<br />

Form does not differ from emptiness


Tu-shun<br />

shun’s Discernment of True<br />

Emptiness<br />

1. Forms are not identical with emptiness because<br />

they are identical with emptiness,<br />

<br />

i.e., forms are not identical with annihilation and<br />

therefore are truly empty.<br />

2. Forms are not identical with emptiness because<br />

they are identical with emptiness,<br />

<br />

… emptiness is not a mere characteristic of forms<br />

and thus forms are truly empty.


3 - 4<br />

3. Forms are not identical with emptiness<br />

because they are identical with emptiness,<br />

<br />

… forms are not identical with any<br />

transcendent emptiness and therefore are<br />

truly empty.<br />

4. Forms are identical with emptiness.<br />
