15. Svabhāva (स्वभाव)

Summary

Chapter 15 is own nature. A svabhāva (स्वभाव) would not be made and would not depend. Whatever is made depends. The verse says emptiness follows from that, and that to see dependent arising is to see the middle, not a new substance called emptiness.

अध्याय १५ स्वभाव हो। स्वभाव बनेको हुँदैनथ्यो र अड्दैनथ्यो। जे बनेको छ त्यो अड्छ। श्लोकले त्यसबाट शून्यता आउँछ भन्छ, अनि प्रतीत्यसमुत्पाद देख्नु नै बीचको बाटो देख्नु हो, शून्यता नामको नयाँ द्रव्य देख्नु होइन भन्छ।
