All chapter headings in this book are either titles of traditional dance pieces

Е Form does nor differ from emptiness: Emptiness does nor differ from form. That
which is form is emptiness: That which is emptiness, formЕ
Е all dharmas are marked with emptiness: They do not appear nor disappear, Are
not Tainted nor pure, Do not increase nor decrease.
Therefore, in emptiness, no form No feelings, perceptions, impulses,

no sound, no smell, no taste, no touch, no object of mind;

No old age and death
And also no extinction of them.
No suffering, no origination, no stopping, no path,
No cognition and also no attainment
With nothing to attainЕ
