Whatever is dependently co-arisen, that is explained to be emptiness. That, being a dependent designation, is itself the middle way.

If I had any position, I would thereby have a flaw. But since I have no position, I alone am without flaw.

Since all things are empty of inherent existence, anything is possible. If things had inherent existence, nothing would be possible.

Neither from itself nor from another, nor from both, nor without a cause, does anything whatever, anywhere arise.

By understanding emptiness, one understands all phenomena. Without understanding emptiness, one understands nothing.

The essence of the teaching is emptiness and compassion. Without emptiness, compassion can become attachment. Without compassion, emptiness can become cold and distant.

Those who know emptiness, know impermanence. Those who know impermanence, know non-self. Those who know non-self, know peace.

Just as the wise do not take a mirage to be water, nor an echo to be a voice, so the enlightened do not take the world to be real.

The teaching of the Buddha is based on two truths: conventional truth and ultimate truth. Without understanding the relationship between these two, the deeper meaning of the Buddha's teaching cannot be understood.

The one who grasps at existence suffers in samsara, while the one who grasps at non-existence will find no liberation.

To see the truth, do not be for or against. The struggle between for and against is the mind's worst disease.

For whom emptiness is possible, everything is possible. For whom emptiness is not possible, nothing is possible.

The person who clings to nothing of the past, present and future, who has no attachment and no aversion, has no conceptual imprints.

The highest truth cannot be taught except through the conventional truth.

Those who grasp at things as truly existent are like someone trying to catch the reflection of the moon in water.

The nature of all things is like a magical illusion, a mirage, a dream, a reflection of the moon in water.

Those who understand interdependent origination understand suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.

The victorious ones have said that emptiness is the relinquishing of all views. Those who are possessed of the view of emptiness are said to be incurable.

The root of all suffering is ignorance. The antidote to ignorance is wisdom that realizes emptiness.

There is no difference at all between samsara and nirvana. There is no difference at all between nirvana and samsara.
