Therefore, "that which is called" is from the previous one. Since it is impossible to explain that Indra is distinct from the meaning and words, the question is whether this should also be shown closely. The Blessed One, with the Buddha's eye, saw the future appearance of the image and said, "It should be shown closely." Why is that stated? It is because it will happen. The Blessed One, the non-teacher himself, abandoning the main meaning, proclaims another meaning. For the Perfection of Wisdom, it is considered an image. It is for the sake of deceiving foolish believers. For birth, it is nhri tsa. The terms and births are by the word nhri tsa. "There" means when it is like that. "It is not right to be wasted" means do not fall from the path of perfect enlightenment. How is it not right to be wasted? Because the element of action called na sha is counted among su sha and others, it obtains the suffix a na. It is for the sake of accomplishing the words of another's meaning. Because the accomplishment that precedes the name is impermanent, it will not occur. Even so, because of ru da and others, it obtains growth in the direction without e ta. As before, because of non-thought, it will not occur. The question of Indra for the sake of knowing the image is "How in the future time," and so on. Showing the image means that holding the meaning of emptiness with faults also imputes ultimate reality to the cause of terms. These non-existent entities are fabricated. What exists is also destroyed. Even if the conduct is perfect, the discipline is perfect, the samadhi is perfect, and the view is perfect, it will be completely ruined. Therefore, the Blessed One said, "Here, the view of another person is that it is easy to take emptiness as a fault, but it is not so." By taking emptiness as a fault, one is deluded about the object of knowledge and all knowledge.
