At a certain moment the Conqueror went into deep meditation on the part of the teaching
known as the awareness of the profound. At that moment too did the realized being, the
greatwarrior,thelordofpower,LovingEyes,seeintothisonedeeppractice,thepracticeof
the perfection of wisdom. And he saw perfectly that the five heapsthe five parts of a
personwereemptyofanynatureoftheirown.

And thus we can say, Shari Putra, that every existing thing is emptiness. Nothing has any
characteristic of its own. Nothing ever begins. Nothing ever ends. Nothing is ever impure.
