觀因果門第九
Chapter 9: Contemplating Cause and Effect
復次，一切法空。何以故？諸法自無性，亦不從餘處來。如說：
Furthermore, all phenomena are empty. Why? Because things have no inherent nature of their own, nor do they come from anywhere else. As it is said:
果於眾緣中， 畢竟不可得，
亦不餘處來， 云何而有果？
In the midst of conditions, The fruit is ultimately nowhere to be found, Nor does it come from elsewhere— How then could it exist?
眾緣若一一中、若和合中，俱無果，如先說。又是果不從餘處來，若餘處來者則不從因緣生，亦無眾緣和合功。若果眾緣中無，亦不從餘處來者，是即為空。
If, among the various causes—whether considered individually or in combination—no fruit is found, as explained earlier, then this fruit does not come from elsewhere. If it did come from elsewhere, it would not be born from causes and conditions, nor would there be any effect of their combined effort. Since the fruit is neither present in the causes themselves nor does it arise from somewhere else, it is therefore empty.
果空故，一切有為法空；有為法空故，無為法亦空；有為、無為尚空，何況我耶？
