Therefore, it prevents (it). If the emptiness that you refute, That emptiness is also non-existent, How can you say that it refutes existence, Isn't that statement flawed? Since there is nothing to be refuted, I do not refute anything. Therefore, you said that it refutes, That is not true, you said. If you say that without words there is also nothing, Isn't the word of refutation not established? When it is said that there are no words, It is not the elimination of understanding. You also use the example of a mirage, Whatever great argument you have made, How is that example valid? Listen to the establishment. If that grasping has inherent existence, It will not become dependent arising. Whatever grasping is dependent arising, Isn't that emptiness itself? If that grasping has inherent existence, Who can reverse that grasping? The same applies to the rest, Therefore, that objection is non-existent. When the example of a mirage establishes reversal, With what was said before, Because the previous one answered without reason, Because it is the same. What is the reason for the three times you said before? Is it the same because it was answered? The reasons for the three times are, Suitable for those who speak of emptiness. For whom emptiness is possible, For them, all things are possible. For whom emptiness is not possible, For them, nothing is possible. Whatever is emptiness and dependent arising, In the Middle Way, the meaning is one, Unequaled supreme said so, I prostrate to that Buddha. The chapter on refuting arguments is finished.
