(２４)“什么是毕竟空？”
24) “What is it when there is total emptiness?”
“毕竟空”称为涅槃(nibbana)，彻底地空掉“自我”的状态就是涅槃，这个可以用一句格言来说明：“涅槃是至高无上的‘空’”(泰本巴利藏第３１册，６３２页)。它是一种超越种种假相、独一无二的智见，见到涅槃是至高无上的“空”，我们就能超越种种的假相。
TOTAL EMPTINESS OR freedom is called “nibbāna” (Sanskrit, nirvāna). The condition of emptiness resulting from the complete and thorough elimination of the self-idea is nibbāna. This can be summarized by saying “Nibbāna is supreme emptiness.” It is that unique vision that transcends ordinary knowledge. We can transcend the various types of ordinary knowledge through seeing that “nibbāna is supreme emptiness.”
涅槃是至高无上的“空”，或至高无上的“空”是涅槃。请记住：究竟圆满的空性——涅槃。
Nibbāna is supreme emptiness, or supreme emptiness is nibbāna. Do remember that the perfection of emptiness is what we refer to as “nibbāna”.
