Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra叠补丑颈谤诲丑腻艣奴苍测补迟腻 (啶す啶苦ぐ啷嵿ぇ啶距ざ啷傕え啷嵿く啶むぞ) or simply Bahirdh膩 refers to the 鈥渆mptiness of external dharmas鈥�, representing one of the sixteen or eighteen emptinesses (艣奴苍测补迟腻), according to the 2nd century Mah膩praj帽膩p膩ramit膩艣膩stra chapter XLVIII. Accordingly, 鈥渨hat is the emptiness of external dharmas (产补丑颈谤诲丑腻艣奴苍测补迟腻)? External dharmas are color, sound, smell, taste, tangible and dharmas. And yet color is empty of color because it is neither eternal nor transitory. Why? Because such is its essence. Likewise, sound, smell, taste, tangible and dharma. Why? Because such is its essence. That is called: emptiness of external dharmas (产补丑颈谤诲丑腻-艣奴苍测补迟腻)鈥�.
Outer emptiness (产补丑颈谤诲丑腻艣奴苍测补迟腻).鈥擮uter dharmas (产补丑颈谤诲丑腻诲丑补谤尘补) are empty of outer dharmas. The outer dharmas are the six external bases of consciousness (峁岣�-产补丑颈谤诲丑腻测补迟补苍补): color (谤奴辫补), sound (艣补产诲补), smell (gandha), taste (rasa), tangible (蝉辫谤补峁ａ弓补惫测补) and dharma. Color is empty: in it there is no 鈥榤e鈥� or 鈥榤ine鈥�, and there is no dharma 鈥榗olor鈥�. It is the same for sound, smell, taste, tangible and dharma.
